[B-Greek] Antipas as "king"

In the BDAG entry on BASILEUS I see the following:

Herod Antipas (not really a king [Jos., Ant. 17, 188; Dit., Or. 416;
417], but occasionally given that title: Cicero, Verr. 4, 27)

However, when I've looked at the Cicero text  cited here, I do not find
any such appellation as BDAG says is to be found there.  Indeed, I don't
seem to find a reference to Antipas, let alone to Antipas as
BASILEUS/Rex, in the entirety of In Verr.

Am I missing something?  Or is BDAG in error here?

Yours,

Jeffrey
