	IRANIAN HISTORY: ACHAEMENID DYNASTY GENERAL DÂTÂMA (DATAMES) - (CAIS) ©
		Datames was warned of developments by his friend Pandantes, the royal treasurer (Nepos, Datames 5.3); he then decided to leave the army assembled at Phoenician Akê in command of Mandrocles of Magnesia and to return "with his own men" (cum suis) to Cappadocia (5.6).
		Datames, one of the Cappadocian kings listed in a ficticious genealogy linking the dynasty with Cyrus the Great (Diodorus, 31.19), was said to be the son of Anaphas (q.v.), one of the "seven Persians," and to have succeeded him on the throne; he was also designated as the father of Aria(ra)mnes (see ARIYÂRAMNA 5).
		This Datames was praised as a brilliant warrior and supposedly died in battle (31.19.2).

		(Mnemon), and high in the favour of that monarch, Datames became one of the king^s bodyguard ; and having in this capacity distinguished himself in the war against the Cadusii, was appointed to succeed his father (who had fallen in that war) in the government of his province.
		The great reputation that Datames had acquired induced Artaxerxes to direct his utmost exertions to effect his subjection, but Autophradates, who was sent against him with a large army, was obliged to retreat with heavy loss.
		Datames, however, though constantly victorious against open foes, ultimately fell a victim to treachery, and, after evading numerous plots that had been formed against his life, was assassinated at a conference by Mithridates, the son of Ariobarzanes, who had gained his confidence by assuming the appearance of hostility to the king.

	Datames
		Datames appears to have obtained the highest reputation in his day for courage and ability in war, which caused his fame to extend even among the Greeks, though he did not come into personal collision with them.
		The chronology of the events related by Nepos is also very obscure; but according to that author and Diodorus it would appear that Datames must have died before Artaxerxes, probably 362 BC.

		Artaxerxes, being startled at this news (for he was aware that he should have to do with a brave and active man, who, when he had conceived a project, had courage to execute it, and was accustomed to think before he attempted to act), despatched Autophradates into Cappadocia.
		To prevent this general from entering the country, Datames endeavored to be the first to secure a forest, in which the Gate of Cilicia is situate.
		Datames, though he saw that peace would not be faithfully kept, nevertheless accepted the offer of it, and said that "he would send deputies to Artaxerxes." Thus the war, which the king had undertaken against Datames, was ended; and Autophradates retired into Phrygia.

	Datames - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Datames (in Greek Δατάμης; killed 362 BC) was a general and provincial governor under the Persian empire.
		His father being satrap of Cilicia under Artaxerxes II, and high in the favour of that monarch, Datames became one of the king's bodyguards; and having in this capacity distinguished himself in the war against the Cadusii, was appointed to succeed his father (who had fallen in that war) in the government of his province.

		Datames was however accompanied by his mother, the aunt of the Paphlagonian, who discovered what was going on, and gave her son warning of it.
		Datames escaped the danger by flight, and declared open war against Thyus, in which, though he was deserted by Ariobarzanes, the satrap of Lydia, Ionia, and all Phrygia, he nevertheless vigorously persevered, and succeeded in taking Thyus alive with his wife and children.
		Datames, though he was far distant from those parts, and was drawn off from a greater matter, yet thought it necessary to yield to the king's wish.

		Father-in-law of Datames, with whom he joined in his revolt from the Persian king [datames] ; but afterwards despairing of his cause, went over to Artabazus, the Persian general, with all the cavalry under his command.
		Datames, however, on learning his desertion, followed him so closely that he attacked the enemy at the very moment that Mithrobarzanes had -joined them.
		The Persians in consequence distrusted their new confederate, and refused to receive them, so that Mithrobarzanes and his followers found themselves hemmed in between two armies, and were quickly cut to pieces.

		Though Datames, by this celebrity, gained great favor from the king, he incurred no less dislike on the part of the courtiers, because they saw that he alone was more valued than all of them; and on this account they all conspired to ruin him.
		Datames, having read this letter, after he had arrived at the army at Ace, resolved, as he was aware that what was written was true, to leave the king's service.
		He did nothing, however, that was unworthy of his honor; for he appointed Mandrocles of Magnesia to command the army, while he himself went off with his adherents into Cappadocia, and took possession of Paphlagonia, that bordered it, concealing what his feelings were towards the king.

		Datames, son of a father named Camissares, a Carian by nation, and of a mother a native of Scythia, served first of all among the soldiers who were guards of the palace to Artaxerxes.
		His father Camissares, having been found undaunted in fight, active in command, and faithful on many occasions to the king, was granted as a province that portion of Cilicia which borders on Cappadocia, and which the Leucosyrians inhabit.
		Datames first showed what sort of man he was, when engaged in military service, in the war which the king carried on against the Cardusii; for in this enterprise, after several thousands of the king's troops were killed, his exertions proved of great value.

	Cappadocia
		It was included in the third Persian satrapy in the division established by Darius, but long continued to be governed by rulers of its own, none apparently supreme over the whole country and all more or less tributary to the Great King.
		Thoroughly subdued at last by the satrap Datames, Cappadocia recovered independence under a single ruler, Ariarathes (hence called Ariarathes I), who was a contemporary of Alexander the Great, and maintained himself on the throne of Cappadocia after the fall of the Persian monarchy.
		His claims were made good in 322 by the regent Perdiccas, who crucified Ariarathes; but in the dissensions following Eumenes's death, the son of Ariarathes recovered his inheritance and left it to a line of successors, who mostly bore the name of the founder of the dynasty.

		Datames was a successful career politician who had risen to importance during wars against the Cadusians who lived around the Caspian Sea around 378.
		By 365 BCE, Datames was in control of most of Cappadocia and was already minting Achaemenid style coins in his own name.
		On the other hand, Ariobarzanes of Phrygia was betrayed by his son Mithradates and was murdered, leaving a gap in the leadership of the revolt.

		Datames consigned him in chains to Mithridates, to be conducted to the king.
		But Datames had previously directed those among whom he was marching, to be ready to do what they should see him do.

		In the 370's the mint at Tarsos issued coins for the satraps (provincial Persian governors) Pharnabazus and Datames, joint commanders of an expedition to recapture Egypt.
		For this purpose they issued a large number of coins apparently designed to appeal simultaneously to their own subjects and to the Greek mercenaries in the force.
		Persians and others able to read the Aramaic name to the right of the head would have recognized in it their leader Datames, although the fact that the same type was used for Pharnabazus indicates that the head was not actually a portrait.

		The abundant examples in various catalogues are an indication of the vast numbers of issue, which is understandable when one considers the military activities of the Persian satrap Datames in Cilicia.
		All the same, there are too many surviving plated Datames staters as well as plated coins of other satraps in Cilicia.
		The frequent Greek elements on Tarsos coins of Persian satraps show most probably that they were used to pay to the Greek mercenaries from western Anatolia.

		Having discovered with certainty that Datames was moored with his ships at Siphnus, he sailed thither while it was still dark, and just at the very dawn fell upon them when they least expected it, and captured eight of the ships, men and all.
		But Datames, with the other two triremes, escaped by stealth at the beginning of the attack made by the ships with Proteas, and reached the rest of the Persian fleet in safety.
