identification of father comes from the inscription at Nimrud-dagh, in chich king Antiochus I of Commagene (1st century BC) mentioned a number of his ancestors. Since the source is noncontemporary by 200 years, and the inscription has been interpreted in different ways, some caution is required with regard to this generation [Ref: Stewart Baldwin SGM 6/8/1996]

inscription at Numrud-dagh gives ---anes, with several letters missing at the beginning. Based on the last four letters of the name only, ---anes has been identified with a certain Mithranes who appears in the contemporary records [Ref: Stewart Baldwin SGM 6/8/1996]
