Almost nothing is known about him. In his Bibliotheca historica, Diodorus Siculus^[1] reports that, after the Achaemenid conquest of Egypt, Artaxerxes III appointed Pherendates II as satrap.^[2] His office must have been very brief, since his successor Sabaces was killed in the battle of Issus (333 BCE) while serving Darius III.^[3][4][5]
