Hellespontine Phrygia

Hellespontine Phrygia

Hellespontine Phrygia was an Achaemenid satrapy in ancient Anatolia, comprising lands of Troad, Mysia and Bithynia and whose seat was at Daskyleion,[1] south of Cyzicus, Mysia. Pharnabazus was satrap of Darius III there, until Alexander the Great appointed Calas which was replaced by Arrhidaeus in the treaty of Triparadisus . According to Strabo Hellespontine and Phrygia Epictetus comprise Lesser Phrygia (Mysia). Others geographers arranged it differently.[2]
