TFA blurb review
Antiochus XII Dionysus (died 82 BC) was a Seleucid king of Syria during the Hellenistic period, from 87 BC until his death. He was the youngest son of Antiochus VIII, who was assassinated in 96 BC. Antiochus XII's four brothers laid claim to the throne. His brother Philip I defeated his brother Demetrius III in 87 BC and remained in the Syrian capital Antioch. Ignoring the territories of Philip I, Antiochus XII gained control of Damascus and consolidated his territory within inner Syria. He focused his attention on Syria's southern reaches into which the Judaeans and Nabataeans sought to expand, reinforced his southern frontier, and fought two campaigns against Nabataea and Judea. After winning several victories, he was killed by the Nabateans at the Battle of Cana in 82 BC. The Nabatean King Aretas III captured Damascus, and the Syrian throne was claimed by Cleopatra Selene and her son Antiochus XIII.

 * Looks good, but I think the 117 BC for the birth year is too precise for a speculation. Its better to either eleminate the birth year, or add that he was born at any time between 124 and 109 BC.--Attar-Aram syria (talk) 03:39, 25 November 2019 (UTC)
