Together with Pericles, Mithrapata was the last ruler of Lycia to issue coins.
After about 360 BC, the region of Lycia was taken over by the Carian dynast Mausolus.

As with Pericles, the portrait of Mithrapata seen on his coins does not show him wearing the head-dress of an Achaemenid satrap, which suggests a degree of independence from the Achaemenid Empire.
His name appears in the Greek alphabet as "Methrapata".
