Hippokrates Autokrator Nikephoros was a king with a Greek name only known from a coin in a private collection.
The portrait resembles that of the Seleucic kings Seleucus VI Epiphanes Nikator (c. 96–94 BC), and in the length of his beard Demetrios II, from the facial feature Antiochos IX.
On the reverse of the coin is shown Zeus sitting on the throne, holding a wreath in place of the usual Nike.
A similar overstrike is known from a coin of Characene king Tiraios II.
[2] One recently proposed hypothesis is that Hippokrates was a Seleucid general (strategos) of the Seleucid king Antiochos XII, after whose death on the battle field 83/82 BC against the Nabateans, Hippokrates would have escaped with the remaining Seleucid troops to the North-East, and tried to establish himself in the area of Elymais.
