Spithrida'tes

（Σπιθριδάτης.)

1. A Persian, was one of the commanders sent by Pharnabazus to oppose the passage of the Cyrean Greeks through Bithynia, B. C. 400. [RHATHINES.] In B. C. 396 Spithridates, offended with Pharnabazus, who wished to take his daughter as a concubine, was induced by Lysander to revolt from the satrap, bringing with him his children, his treasures, and 200 horse. His defection was most acceptable to Agesilaus, who gained information from him about the affairs of Pharnabazus. (Xen. Anab. 6.5.7, Hell. 3.4.10, Ages. 3. § 3; Plut. Ages. 8, Lys. 24.）

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
