Ziboetes

2. Son of the preceding, who established himself in a part of Bithynia, and against whom Nicomedes carried on war in B. C. 277. It was for the purpose of overpowering him that Nicomedes called in the aid of the Gauls. ( Liv. 38.16; comp. Clinton, Fasti Hellen. vol. iii. p. 411.)

The name Tiboetes [TIBOETES] is by some corrected to Ziboetes.
