Notes
- A name familiar in the history of the Near East, from a Persian satrap of the late C5 BC (mentioned by Xenophon) to three successive Cappadocian kings of the C1; for the latter see OCD(4) s.v. (p.152). For the name see already alpha 3871.
The present entry ignores the potted biography of A. the satrap given in Harpokration s.v.
