king of MEDIA (by which we are probably to understand Media Atropatene), was the son-in-law of Tigranes I., king of Armenia, whom he supported in his war against the Romans. His name indeed is only once mentioned in the last campaign against Lucullus, B. C. 67 (D. C. 35.14), but there can be little doubt that he is the third monarch alluded to by Plutarch, as present together with Mithridates the Great and Tigranes, when they were defeated by Lucullus at the river Arsanias in the preceding year. (Plut. Luc. 31.)
