Notes:

The Nabataean dynasty with capital at Petra. The regnal years given are very uncertain. Alternative spellings, when translating Nabataean inscriptions into latin names, thus

Rabbelus' name in Nabataean is "rb'l" and Gamilat is "gmlt".

Articles

Kokkinos, Nikos: "The Herodian Dynasty", Spink, London reprint 2010, appendix 4 "The family of Aretas IV" p.376-377 with stemma, and p.230-231.

PIR R p.36 has stemma for Aretas IV and his descendents. PIR has a slight difference to Kokkinos' stemma in that the mother of Qasma ,Sha'dat, is the sister of King Rabellus

and not the sister and wife of King Malichus. It is not certain that Malichus' first wife was his sister Sha'dat.
