In 362 Orontes, satrap of Armenia, revolted after he was ordered by the King to move to Mysia.
His noble birth led the other satraps to recognize him as leader of the revolt, but Orontes later sought a compromise with the King and betrayed the other satraps, and the rebellion collapsed shortly afterward.
Orontes received much of the Aegean coast while Datames was killed after his son in law Mitrobarzanes betrayed him.
Ariobarzanes was also killed, but the other satraps were pardoned, thus ending the rebellion.
