==== Satrapy of Cilicia ====
In 401 BC, the Achaemenid king of kings [[Artaxerxes II]] abolished the autonomy of Cilicia in reaction to the local Cilician ruler Syennesis III's support for the rebellion of [[Cyrus the Younger]],{{sfn|Weiskopf|1991}} resulting in the kingdom of Cilicia being abolished and fully integrated into the Achaemenid empire as a province ruled by and appointed by the Achaemenid king of kings, which it would remain until the [[Wars of Alexander the Great#Asia Minor|end of the Achaemenid Empire]] in 333 BC.{{sfn|Weiskopf|1991}}{{sfn|Bryce|2009|p=165}}

Once the revolt of Cyrus the Younger had been suppressed, Cilicia was again used as an assembly point for Achaemenid forces in preparation for military action in the Aegean Sea during 396 to 395 BC, and against Cyprus in the 380s BC.{{sfn|Weiskopf|1991}}

During the 390s BC, [[Camisares]] was appointed as satrap of Cilicia. Camisares was himself succeeded by his son, [[Datames]], who eventually became the satrap of both Cilicia and Cappadocia until his assassination in {{c.|362 BC}}.{{sfn|Weiskopf|1991}}

In the 340s BC, the satrap of Cilicia was [[Mazaeus]], who was also given authority over Syria as reward for his service in a campaign against Egypt.{{sfn|Weiskopf|1991}}
