Pherendates II
Pherendates
II
was an
Achaemenid
satrap
of
ancient Egypt
during the
4th century BCE
, at the time of the
31st Dynasty of Egypt
.
Almost nothing is known about him. In his
Bibliotheca
historica
,
Diodorus Siculus
reports
that, after the
battle of Pelusium
and the
subsequent
Achaemenid conquest of Egypt
,
Artaxerxes III
appointed
Pherendates II as satrap. His office must have been very brief, since his
successor
Sabaces
was killed in the
battle of Issus
while
serving
Darius III
.
