In 385, Tiribazus offered Evagoras certain conditions of peace, which the latter was willing to accept, pro­testing only against the requisition that he should acknowledge himself the mere vassal of Persia, and claiming the title of king.
Hereupon Orontes, jealous of Tiribazus, wrote to court accusing him of treason, and obtained in answer an order to arrest his colleague, arid to take upon himself the sole command of the forces.
But Tiribazus was a favourite with the army, and the general dissatis­faction, together with some desertions, alarmed Orontes for the result of the war.

The terms were accepted, but Tiribazus kept watching the 10,000 at the distance of several stadia with the intent of assail­ing them in a mountain pass, through which their march necessarily lay.
It came on before three judges of the highest reputation, whose sense of impartiality would be also quick­ened by the recollection that some of their pre­decessors had been recently flayed alive for an unjust sentence, and that the judgment-seat was now covered with their skins.
Tiribazus tri­umphantly disposed of the charges against him, and was honourably acquitted with the full appro­bation of Artaxerxt s, in consideration not only of his innocence in regard to the special charges, but also of the great services he had rendered to his master.

 Antalcidas
In 393 (or 392 BC) he was sent to Tiribazus[?], satrap of Sardis, to undermine the friendly relations then existing between Athens and Persia, offering to recognize Persian claims to the whole of Asia Minor.
The Athenians sent an embassy under Conon to counteract his efforts.
Tiribazus, who was favourable to Sparta, threw Conon into prison, but Artaxerxes II (Mnemon) disapproved and recalled his satrap.

Tiribazus had got it together,” he added, “meaning to attack the Hellenes on the high mountain pass, in a defile which was the sole passage.”
But, for all their expedition, some of them were killed, and as many as twenty horses were captured, with the tent of Tiribazus, and its contents, silver-footed couches and goblets, besides certain persons styling themselves the butlers and bakers.
As soon as the generals of the heavy infantry division had learnt the news, they resolved to return to the camp with all speed, for fear of an attack being made on the remnant left behind.

But when the foremost had fallen into his clutches, the enemy's hinder vessels, seeing their leaders taken one by one, out of sheer despondency fell an easy prey to the slower sailors of the foe, so that not one of the eight vessels escaped.
The full quota of the contingent was further made up from the territory of Ariobarzanes (which whom Antalcidas kept up a friendship of long standing), in the absence of Pharnabazus, who by this date had already been summoned up country on the occasion of his marriage with the king's daughter.
Tiribazus pointed to the king's seal attached to the document, and proceeded to read the contents, which ran as follows:

 Isocrates letter to Nicocles on Evagoras
When Tiribazus would not agree to this, Orontes, who was the other general and envious of Tiribazus' high position, secretly sent letters to Artaxerxes against Tiribazus.
Tiribazus, with respect to the charge in connection with Evagoras, presented the agreement made by Orontes that Evagoras should obey the King as a king, whereas he had himself agreed upon a peace on the terms that Evagoras should obey the King as a slave his master.
The third stated that he did not take into account the benefactions, because Tiribazus had received from the King in return for them favours and honours many times as great, but that when the charges were examined apart by themselves, the accused did not appear to be guilty of them.

The lieutenant-governor of it was Tiribazus, the king's friend, and whenever the latter paid a visit, he alone had the privilege of mounting the king upon his horse.
This proposal satisfied the generals, and a treaty was made on the terms suggested.
From this place they marched three stages--fifteen parasangs--through plain country, Tiribazus the while keeping close behind with his own forces more than a mile off.

 Corinthian War: Information from Answers.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
In 392 BC, the Spartans dispatched an ambassador, Antalcidas, to the satrap Tiribazus, hoping to turn the Persians against the allies by informing them of Conon's use of the Persian fleet to begin rebuilding the Athenian empire.
In the wake of the unsuccessful conference in Persia, Tiribazus returned to Susa to report on events, and a new general, Struthas, was sent out to take command.
It appears that the Persians, unnerved by certain of Athens' actions, including supporting king Evagoras of Cyprus and Akoris of Egypt, both of whom were at war with Persia, had decided that their policy of weakening Sparta by supporting its enemies was no longer useful.

Conducted by Tiribazus, Antalcidas repaired to the Persian court, and prevailed an the Persian monarch both to adopt the peace, and to declare war against those who should reject it.
Antalcidas and Tiribazus returned to the coasts of Asia Minor, not only armed with these powers, but provided with an ample force to carry them into execution.
Under these circumstances deputies from the Grecian states were summoned to meet Tiribazus; who, after exhibiting to them the royal seal of Persia, read to them the following terms of a peace: "King Artaxerxes thinks it just that the cities in Asia and the islands of Clazomenae and Cyprus should belong to him.

 Conon
The Athenians sent delegates to announce this as unacceptable, which Tiribazus[?] took understood to mean that they still hoped to recover their empire, and outraged by this about-face threw them in prison, Conon among them.
When Tiribazus was replaced by Struthus[?], a bitter enemy of the Spartan king, Conon was allowed to escape, and died soon afterwards at Cyprus.
His son Timotheus[?] later became another prominent general.

 Lydia
The satrap was executed and replaced by Tiribazus, who restored order in Lydia and was responsible for the first of a series of treaties between the Persian king and the Greek city states, the King's Peace of 387/386.
Autophradates was probably Tiribazus' direct successor, but if he is identical to the Autophradates who is mentioned as a naval commander in the 330's, we must probably insert a satrap between Tiribazus and Autophradates.
The last satrap of Lydia was Spithridates, who was killed by the Macedonian conqueror Alexander the Great in the battle at the Granicus (spring 334; pictures).

If, therefore, they could indoctrinate Tiribazus--who was a general of the king--with their sentiments, they believed they could not fail either to draw him aside to their own interests, or, at any rate, to put a stop to his feeding Conon's navy.
The proposals of Antalcidas sounded very pleasantly in the ears of Tiribazus, but to the opponents of Sparta they were the merest talk.
B.C. That general crossed over and established his base of operations in Ephesus and the towns in the plain of the Maeander-- Priene, Leucophrys, and Achilleum--and proceeded to harry the king's territory, sparing neither live nor dead chattels.

 A Brief History of Persian Empire
At the same time Tiribazus was replaced by Struthas as satrap of Ionia, and he sided with Athens against Sparta.
Then Tiribazus and Antalcidas used Spartan and Syracusan fleets to destroy the Athenians guarding the Hellespont, threatening Athens with the same starvation that ended the Peloponnesian War seventeen years before.
Though Tiribazus was winning over mercenaries with money, the rivalry of Aroandas caused Artaxerxes II to have Tiribazus arrested; but Aroandas had to accept the terms of Euagoras at Cyprus that Tiribazus had rejected.

Similar coins were issued by Tiribazus, while organizing the war against Euagoras I, from Mallus, Soli, and Tarsus.
Tarsus, on the Cydnus, the most important city in Cilicia, was in the time of Xenophon the capital of its kings, by whom the coins earlier than the time of Tiribazus must have been struck.
Tiribazus (B.C. 386-380) issued staters as at Issus, Mallus, and Soli, differentiated by Τ.

Evagoras, prince of Cyprus, revolted against Artaxerxes, who sent Tiribazus against him; Evagoras applied to Athens for assistance, which was granted: a similar request to Sparta was refused.
It perceived that it was necessary to change its policy with regard to Persia, and for the present at least to drop the design of conquest in Asia, and to confine itself to the object of counteracting the efforts of the Athenians and making the Persian court subservient to these ends.
For this purpose Antalcidas was sent to negotiate a peace with Tiribazus, to whom he made highly agreeable proposals.

 The Internet Classics Archive | Agesilaus by Plutarch
When Conon and Pharnabazus with the Persian navy were grown masters of the sea, and had not only infested the coast of Laconia, but also rebuilt the walls of Athens at the cost of Pharnabazus, the Lacedaemonians thought fit to treat of peace with the King of Persia.
To that end, they sent Antalcidas to Tiribazus, basely and wickedly betraying the Asiatic Greeks, on whose behalf Agesilaus had made the war.
But no part of this dishonour fell upon Agesilaus, the whole being transacted by Antalcidas, who was his bitter enemy, and was urgent for peace upon any terms, because war was sure to increase his power and reputation.

 Struthas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 392 BC, he was dispatched by Artaxerxes II to take command of the satrapy of Sardis, replacing Tiribazus, and to pursue an anti-Spartan policy.
Thibron was then replaced by Diphridas, who rebuilt his army from the remnants of Thibron's and raided Struthas's territory successfully, even capturing his son-in-law.
Although the specific events of Struthas's removal from office are not known, by the early 380s BC he had been replaced by Tiribazus, and makes no further appearances in the historical record.

Its lieutenant-governor1 was Tiribazus, who had proved himself a friend to the King and, so often as he was present, was the only man permitted to help the King mount his horse.
[4.4.18] He replied that it was Tiribazus with his own forces and Chalybian and Taochian mercenaries, and that he had made his preparations with the idea of taking a position upon the mountain pass, in the defile through which ran the only road, and there attacking the Greeks.
They accordingly packed up and set out at once, marching through deep snow with a large number of guides; and before the day ended they crossed over the summit at which Tiribazus was intending to attack them and went into camp.

Conon and Evagoras, aided by the Persians, freed the islands and Athens herself from Spartan oppression; this indebtedness to barbarian intervention cannot but have been distasteful to Isocrates.
The Corinthian War was ended by the disgraceful peace of Antalcidas, so called from the Spartan diplomatist, who, assisted by the satrap Tiribazus, had been mainly instrumental in bringing it about.
The terms of this peace were as follows: "King Artaxerxes [Mnemon] thinks it just that the cities in Asia, and the islands of Clazomenae and Cyprus shall belong to him.

The basic outline of the treaty was laid out by a decree from the Persian king Artaxerxes:

In 386/5 B.C.E. he was the chief of the Persian infantry in the war against the Cyprian king Euagoras (Diodorus 15.2.1f.).
After having wrongfully accused the commander of the navy, his fellow-satrap Tiribazus, who then was taken prisoner and sent to the royal court but was finally acquitted and reinstalled, Orontes had made peace in a form which was advantageous for Euagoras and therefore was not accepted by the king (Diodorus 15.8.3–9.2; 10.2–11.1; Polyaenus 7.14.1).
Owing to these circumstances he fell from favor with the king (Diodorus 15.11.2).
