Adobogiona married Brogitarus, King of Galatia, who reigned concurrently with his father-in-law.[2] They were the parents of Amyntas of Galatia, a tetrarch of the Trocmi tribe and king of Galatia.

Adobogiona was honoured by a surviving inscription discovered on the island of Lesbos and a portrait head of her has been discovered at Pergamon.
