Datămes
(
Δατάμης). A distinguished Persian general, a Carian by
birth, and satrap of Cilicia under Artaxerxes II. (Mnemon), but who revolted against the king.
He defeated the generals who were sent against him, but was at length assassinated, B.C. 362.
Cornelius Nepos, who has written his life, calls him the bravest and most able of all
barbarian generals, after Hamilcar and Hannibal.
