    Notes 
    • Personal name meaning, illustrious. The father of Apame. He is called “the illustrious,” probably because of rank and merits. The family seems to be of Persian origin since the name Bartacus (Syriac ) in the form of Artachaeas is mentioned by Herodotus (vii.22.117) as a person of rank in the Persian army of Xerxes and the name of his daughter Apame is identical with that of a Persian princess who married Seleucus I, Nicator, and became the mother of Antiochus I. Apamea, a city in Asia Minor founded by Seleucus I, is named in honor of his wife Apame.
