1 Artabazus was the son of Pharnabazus (90.3, note) and Apame, daughter of Artaxerxes (Plut. Artaxerxes 27.4; Xen. Hell. 5.1.28), born about 387 or later. He married the sister of Memnon and Mentor (Book 16.52.4) about 362. For his history see Beloch, Griechische Geschichte (2), 3 2.147-149.
2 Datames was the son of Camisares who ruled over part of Cappadocia (see Life by Nepos). He was probably leader of an offensive of the satraps at the time of Tachos invasion of Syria (see Polyaenus 7.21.3). It was probably in the summer of 359 that Artabazus invaded Cappadocia, and at the latest in the following winter that Datames was murdered by Ariobarzanes' son Mithridates (Nepos Datames 10-11; Polyaenus 7.29.1). For a longer account see Beloch, Griechische Geschichte (2), 3.2.254-257; also Tarn, Cambridge Ancient History, 6.20-21; Olmstead, History of the Persian Empire, 411 ff.
