Ariobarzanes II of Cius
Ariobarzanes (in
Artaxerxes II, but ended up in defeat by 362 BC. He was succeeded as governor of Cius by Mithridates
, possibly his son or possibly a kinsman such as a younger brother.
Ariobarzanes is called by Diodorus[3] satrap of Phrygia, and by Nepos[4] satrap of Lydia, Ionia, and Phrygia. Demosthenes speaks of Ariobarzanes of Phrygia and his two or three sons having been made Athenian citizens.[5] He mentions him again[6] in the following year and says that the Athenians had sent Timotheus to his assistance; but that when the Athenian general saw that Ariobarzanes was in open revolt against the Persian king, he refused to assist him.
