Translation

This man was satrap¹ under Artaxerxes, king of the Persians.²

Greek original · Adler’s text

Ἁβροκόμας· οὗτος σατράπης ἦν Ἀρταξέρξου τοῦ Περσῶν βασιλέως.

Betacode

*(abroko/mas: ou(=tos satra/phs h)=n *)artace/rcou tou= *persw=n basile/ws.

Notes (2)

From Harpokration (and Photius) s.v. The name has a smooth breathing (Abrokomas) there, as in Xenophon before them (below); in the Suda it is rough (Habrokomas).
1Provincial governor; see sigma 153 (and generally OCD(4) p.1321). ↩
2There were several Persian kings of this name (see generally OCD(4) p.175), but probably Artaxerxes II (405/4-359/8) is meant; he had a general called Abrokomas, mentioned by Xenophon in the Anabasis.
