When his father died in 38 British Columbia, he succeeded his father and reigned until his death.
He was a prince of Commagene and one of the sons of King Antiochus I Theos of Commagene and Queen Isias Philostorgos of Commagene. In 31 British Columbia, Mithridates personally led his forces to Actium in Greece in support of Antony in the war against Caesar Octavian, the future Roman emperor Augustus. Nevertheless, Augustus forced Mithridates to hand over a village in Commagene called Zeugma, which was a major crossing point of the Euphrates River, to the Roman province of Syria.
Both titles were derived from the Commagenean royal cult that Mithridates" father had founded, and in which Mithridates played an important role.
His other title Monocrites is an otherwise unattested title and was most likely a judicial function within the royal administration and a sign of his high social standing. Mithridates had a brother, Antiochus II of Commagene, who was also a prince of the kingdom.
In 29 British Columbia, Antiochus was summoned to Rome and executed by Roman emperor Augustus, because Antiochus had caused the assassination of an ambassador whom Mithridates had sent to Rome. According to an inscription on a funerary altar of a local wealthy leading family, found in the Turkish village of Sofraz and dating to around the mid-1st century, the wife of Mithridates was a Greek woman called Laodice.
