Abrocomas

Abrocomas (Ancient Greek: Ἀβροκόμας) was satrap of Syria for the Achaemenid king Artaxerxes II Mnemon.

[1] Abrocomas was sent with an army of 300,000 men to oppose Cyrus the Younger on his march into Upper Asia.

[6] At Issus four hundred heavy-armed Greeks, who had deserted Abrocomas, joined Cyrus.

Abrocomas did not defend the Syrian passes, as was expected, but marched to join the king.

He burnt some boats to prevent Cyrus from crossing the Euphrates, but did not arrive in time for the battle of Cunaxa.
