Exegesis
The aorist verb ēkousen {ἤκουσεν | ḗkousen} “he heard” precedes its subject, forming the typical Greek narrative order of verb followed by subject Hērōidēs ho tetraarchēs {Ἡρῴδης ὁ τετραάρχης | Hērṓidēs ho tetraárchēs} “Herod the tetrarch.” The appositional structure of the proper name with the title specifies which Herod is in view by his political office.
In context — Matthew 14:1
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard the report about Jesus .
