	Parthia (1)
		From 316 on, the satrapy was ruled by Stasander, who was already satrap of Bactria, and must have seized Aria and Margiana too (which were situated between Parthia and his own satrapy).
		In the confusion, Parthia was attacked by the Parni, a nomad tribe from the Central-Asian steppe.
		The Persian satrap of Parthia was Hystaspes, the father of the new Persian king; he managed to stand his ground against the Parthian rebels in the city Vishpauzâtish, where he repelled his enemies on March 8, 521.

		The earliest references to Parthia are probably from the Achaemenid period, during which it was a Persian satrapy under the name of Parthava, one of its first satraps being Hystaspes, the father of Darius the Great.

		31 has supposed that Arsaces, before his invasion of Parthia, had established his power in Asaac, in 250 B.C. But the region of Astauene, with the city of Asaac, was a district of the (Seleucid) satrapy of Hyrcania.
		For instance, in the second century B.C. the kings of Pontus computed their regnal years from 336 B.C., when their reputed ancestor Mithridates was established as governor of Cius, although the dynasty had not assumed the royal title before Mithridates III, brother-in-law of Seleucus II.
		When a Hellenistic ruler succeeded in gaining the sovereignty, the symbol of which was the royal title, he often antedated the initial year of his kingship.

		From the northeast of Iran they advanced toward the frontier of the Seleucid satrapy (administrative district) of Parthia, near the Caspian Sea.
		Known as the Parthians after their successful conquest of the land, they made their own imperial aspirations clear by instituting a dynastic era in 247 B.C., and subsequent rulers assumed the name Arsaces as a royal title.
		While in the west the Seleucids faced the Ptolemies, Alexander's successors in Egypt, in the east, a seminomadic confederacy, the Parni, were on the move.

		Further to the west, in 247 BCE the ruling classes in the satrapy of Parthia chose a tribal ruler of the Parni as their new king.
		This king, named Arsaces (Arashk) was the leader of the Parni in their migration from the area west of Sogdiana south to the Achaemenid/Seleucid satrapy of Parthia.
		The satrapy was renamed Media Atropatene, a name which survives to this day in the guise of Azerbaijan.

		Justin calls the Parni "Parthes" (XLI, 1, 1, etc.) and places the separation of Parthia from the Seleucids under Seleucus II (that is, after 246) and in the consulship of M. (or C.) Atilius and L.
		Justin telescopes together the date of the insurrection of Parni and that of the conquest of Parthia.
		In the fashion of all Nomades, the Parni used from time to time to overrun the satrapy of Hyrcania and Bactria and exact tribute.

		But c.246, during a short interregnum, the Seleucids lost much territory in the east, where the Parni settled themselves in the satrapy of Parthia -in northern Iran- and the satrapy of Bactria -Afghanistan- became independent.
		Seleucus' reign lasted from 312 to 280 (click here for more information), and he was succeeded by his descendants, who continued to govern these countries for two centuries.
		One of them was his friend Seleucus, who became king of the eastern provinces - more or less modern Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon, together with parts of Turkey, Armenia, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan.
