Costobarus

Costobarus: Costobarus was the second husband of Salome I, sister of Herod the Great, and governor of Idumea. By Salome, Costobarus fathered Berenice (daughter of Salome) and Antipater IV. Costobarus was accused of treason by Salome and presumably executed by Herod in 28 BCE.^[1]

^ Antiquities XV 7:10 indicates that the "sons of Babas" were executed "and those that were accused as guilty with them". Josephus never specifically states that Costobarus was executed; however, he was accused by Salome of complicity in keeping the sons of Babas alive against the orders of Herod so it is reasonable, although far from certain, that Costobarus was executed with the sons of Babas.
