Referred to as the "King's Eye", Artasyrus was of Bactrian origin.[1][2] His more "well known" son, Orontes, who was therefore sometimes referred to as "Orontes the Bactrian",[1][3] served as the Satrap of Sophene and Matiene (Mitanni) during the reign of Artaxerxes II. The daughter of Artaxerxes II, Rhodogune, was the wife of the satrap Orontes I. Khachatrian, one of the rare accounts of Ardashir was that before his death he gathered his sons and told them that the duty of every king of the Orontid Dynasty was to build at least one water channel, which would last for centuries; as he had not managed to build one, he left all his fortune to his sons for them to build them for him.[5] Darius III (satrap) Orontes III Artaxerxes III Ochus ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-5977.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-5977.txt
