Another proposal is that hęgemoneuontos tęs Syrias might mean simply mean "holding a command in Syria" [...] just because Quirinius was probably assigned a Syrian legion to fight bandits on the mountain border between Galatia and Cilicia, it does not follow that he had any kind of command in Syria [...] A Syrian legate would have no business fighting a war in someone else’s province, [...] all the more so since “being a ruler of Syria” is what the phrase actually means anyway (since “Syria” appears in the genitive, not dative case).
That emphasised phrase is somewhat less categorical than your comment.
