Phrataphernes retained the Hellenistic satrapy of Parthia, in the Partition of Babylon (323 BC) following Alexander's death. At least he is termed by Arrian satrap of Parthia, during the advance of Alexander against Bessus, when he was detached by the king, together with Erigyius and Caranus to crush the revolt of Satibarzanes, in Aria (329 BC). The next winter (328–327 BC), during the stay of Alexander at Nautaca, Phrataphernes was again despatched to reduce the disobedient satrap of the Mardi and Tapuri, Autophradates, a service which he successfully performed, and brought the rebel as a captive to the king, by whom he was subsequently put to death.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-7287.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-7287.txt
