After Demetrius II. Nicator was removed, his younger brother, Antiochus VIII. Grypus (125 113) conquered Alexander Zabinas and had him executed (125), but he himself was driven from his throne by his maternal half-brother Antoichus IX. Cyzicenus, the youngest son of Antiochus VII. Returning, however, after two years, Grypus succeeded in winning for himself a large part of Syria, the kingdom being thus divided.
