³ He cannot therefore be satrap of Susiana, as Cumont suggested. C. B. Welles, *Royal Correspondence* p. 303, would see in Antiochus and Phraates the eponymous archons of the city, though in fact they are distinguished from the *archontes*. This raises the same question as Professor Rostovtzeff raised over Kephalon at Uruk, p. 26 n. 1; and it cannot be supposed that a Parthian was a magistrate of a Greek city unless there be direct evidence. The same consideration applies to Rostovtzeff’s statement that ‘it is evident that Zamaspes was commander of the garrison of Susa’, the Greek cleruchs (*CAH* XI p. 117). Zamaspes was a Persian and apparently in Parthian service; one would indeed need clear evidence for this arrangement.
