(), or BARZAENTUS (Βαρζάεντος), satrap of the Arachoti and Drangae, was present at the battle of
Guagamela, B. C. 331, and after the defeat of the Persian army
conspired with Bessus against Dareius. He was one of those who mortally wounded the Persian

after this he fled to India, where, however, he was seized by the inhabitants and delivered up
to Alexander, who put him to death. (Arrian,
