Arsites (Old Persian: Ṛšita, modern Persian: آرستیس, Greek: Ἀρσίτης) was Persian satrap of Hellespontine Phrygia in Achaemenid dinesty in the 4th century BC.[1] His satrapy also included the region of Paphlagonia. In 340 BC, he sent a mercenary force under the leadership of the Athenian Apollodorus to defend Perinthos, which was besieged by Philip II of Macedon, possibly at Artaxerxes III's request. In the spring of 334 BC, however, Alexander the Great, after crossing the Hellespont, set foot in Asia Minor in the dominion of Arsites. Arsites then took part in the satrap coalition to counter the attacker. Alexander then appointed one of his generals, Calas, as the new satrap of the province.
