Palma, A. Corne'lius
was consul in A. D. 99, and a second time in 109. Between his first and second consulships, he was governor of Syria and conquered the part of Arabia in the neighbour hood of Petra, about A.D. 105 (
D. C. 68.14). Palma had always been one of Hadrian's enemies, and was therefore put to death by that emperor upon his accession to the throne in 117. (Dio Cass. Ixix. 2; Spart.
Hadr. 4.)
