Tamos

（Ταμώς). A native of Memphis in Egypt. He was lieutenant-governor of Ionia under Tissaphernes, and afterwards attached himself to the service of the younger Cyrus. When Cyrus died, he sailed to Egypt with a number of ships and a great treasure, and sought refuge with King Psammetichus, who treacherously put him to death in order to get possession of the ships and money (Xen. Anab. i. 2, 21; id. Hellen. iii. 1, 1; Diod.xiv. 19Diod., 35).
