When king Cambyses II defeated pharaoh Psamtik III at the battle of Pelusium (525 BCE), Egypt became a satrapy of the Achaemenid empire, and Aryandes was appointed satrap shortly after. The rebellion was personally quelled by the new king Darius I during his expedition to Egypt in 518 BCE, and Aryandes reinstated. Around 496 BCE, Aryandes fell out of favour with Darius I and was deposed and replaced by Pherendates.[1]:266 The reason for this decision is unknown, with Herodotus and later Polyaenus claiming that the satrap started minting his own silver coinage, calling it aryandic in opposition of the golden, already existing daric, thus irritating the great king. Aryandes had been made governor of Egypt by Cambyses, later he was executed by Darius for making himself equal to the king.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-2869.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-2869.txt
