According to my NAB Concordance, tetrarch in ancient Greece referred to the ruler of one fourth of a territory, usually under a kingship.  In Hellenist and Roman times, it came to refer more generally to a ruler with lower authority than a king.  NAB says Herod I the Great was the first tetrarch, but later recognized as a king.  His sons were only recognized as tetrarchs, Herod Antipas of Galilee (Mt 14.1), and Philip of Ituraea (Lk 3.1), as well as Lysanias of Abilene (Lk 3.1)

Amyntas was Tetrarch of Lycaonia and Galatia between 36 and 25 BC.
