Mithridates I of Cius

Mithridates I of Cius

Mithridates (in Greek Mιθριδάτης; lived 4th century BC), son of Ariobarzanes prince of Cius, is mentioned by Xenophonrf|1|xen1_8.8.4 as having betrayed his father, and the same circumstance is alluded to by Aristotlerf|2|aris_5.10. It is possible that he is the same Mithridates who accom­panied the younger Cyrus, but there is no proof of this; also, he may be the same with the Mithridates mentioned by Xenophonrf|3|xen2_7.8.25 as satrap of Cappadocia and Lycaonia. It appears that he was dead before 363 BC, when Ariobarzanes II made himself master of the family fiefdom of Cius in Mysia.rf|4|diod_15.90
