Ariobarzanes was made satrap of Persis (the southern province of Fars in present-day Iran) in 335 BC by Darius III Codomannus. Historians are surprised that Darius III appointed a satrap for Persepolis and Persis; apparently that office did not previously exist. Following the Persian defeat at Gaugamela, Darius III realized he could not defend his capital Persepolis and travelled east to rebuild his armies, leaving Ariobarzanes in command. Alexander the Great replaced him with Phrasaortes as Hellenistic satrap of Persis.[2] Articles containing Persian-language text Wikipedia articles with VIAF identifiers	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7216.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7216.txt
