He was in a detachment led by Oppius Statianus which was attacked and slaughtered by the Parthians and the Medians. Polemon was the only one who was not killed. He was captured and then released for a ransom.
The date Polemon's death is unknown. An inscription indicates that he must have been still on the throne as late 2 BC.
