There he was planning a scorched-earth policy according to that of Memnon which caused the native Cilician soldiers to abandon their posts.[2] He also decided to burn Tarsus to the ground so as not to fall in the hands of Alexander but was prevented from doing so by the speedy arrival of Parmenion with the light armored units who took the city.[3][4] After that, Arsames fled to Darius who was at this time in Syria.[5] He was slain at the battle of Issus in 333 BC.[6][7] He was succeeded by Balacrus, a bodyguard of Alexander the Great, who became the Hellenistic satrap of Cilica.
