Note	Demetrius I (of Syria), called Soter (circa 187-150 bc), king of Syria (162-150 bc), son of Seleucus IV Philopator(222?-175 bc). Held a hostage in Rome during the reigns of his father and of his uncle, Antiochus IV Epiphanes, he escaped in 163 bc and deposed and killed his cousin, Antiochus V Eupator (173-162 bc), who had occupied the Syrian throne on the Death of his father, Antiochus IV. The reign of Demetrius I was Marked by warfare against the Jews, who were then ruled by the Maccabees, against the Cappadocians, and against the Medes. He was named Soter (Greek, ?Savior?) because he liberated the Babylonians from the Median satrap Timarchus (died about 160 bc). Demetrius I was killed in Battle while resisting the usurpation of Alexander Balas (reigned 150-145 bc), a youth from Smyrna pretending to be the son of Antiochus IV Epiphanes and backed by Rome and Syria's neighbors.
