-Aretas I is the first known king of the [[Nabateans]]. His name is mentioned in the earliest Nabatean inscription discovered to date, a 168 BCE carving found in [[Halutza]].
-According to 2 Maccabees (5:8), in 170 BCE Aretas I held prisoner [[Jason]], when the former High Priest fled from Jerusalem after his unsuccessful attempt to regain power against [[Menelaus]]. Jason, who had been "a fugitive into the land of Ammon" (2 Mac 4:26) since he had lost his power in 172 BCE, was now forced to leave the country for Egypt and Greece, where he died.
-Aretas I was succeeded by [[Rabel I]] around 140 BCE.
