By the earlier See also:Greek authors (See also:Herodotus, See also:Thucydides and often in See also:Xenophon) it is rendered by iivrapxos " See also:lieutenant, See also:governor," in the documents -from Babylonia and See also:Egypt and in See also:Ezra and See also:Nehemiah by pakha, " governor "; and the satrap Mazaeus of See also:Cilicia and See also:Syria in the See also:- TIME (0.

time of See also:Darius III. and See also:Alexander (See also:Arrian iii. 8) calls himself on his coins " Mazdai, who is [placed] over the country beyond the Euphratesand Cilicia." See also:Cyrus the See also:Great divided his See also:empire into provinces; a definitive organization was given by Darius, who established twenty great satrapies and fixed their See also:tribute (Herodot. 89 sqq.) The satrap was the See also:head of the See also:administration of his See also:province; he collected the taxes, controlled the See also:local officials and the subject tribes and cities, and was the supreme See also:judge of the province to whose " See also:chair " (Nehem. iii. 7) every See also:civil and criminal See also:case could be brought. He was responsible for the safety of the roads (cf. Xenophon, Anab. i. 9. 13), and had to put down brigands and rebels. He was assisted by a See also:council of Persians, to which also provincials were admitted; and was controlled by a royal secretary and by emissaries of the See also:- KING

king (esp. the " See also:eye of the king "). The See also:regular See also:army of his province and the fortresses were See also:independent of him and commanded by royal See also:officers; but he was allowed to have troops in his own service (in later times mostly Greek mercenaries). The great provinces were divided into many smaller districts, the governors of which are also called satraps and hyparchs. The See also:distribution of the great satrapies was changed occasionally, and often two of them were given to the same See also:man. When the empire decayed, the satraps often enjoyed See also:practical See also:independence, especially as it became customary to appoint them also as generals in See also:chief of their army district, contrary to the See also:original See also:rule. Hence rebellions of satraps became frequent from the See also:middle of the 5th See also:century; under See also:Artaxerxes II. occasionally the greater See also:part of See also:Asia See also:Minor and Syria was in open See also:rebellion. The last great rebellions were put down by Artaxerxes III. The satrapic administration was retained by Alexander and his successors, especially in the Seleucid empire, where the satrap generally is designated as See also:strategus; but their provinces were much smaller than under the Persians.
In later times the cult of a See also:god Satrapes occurs in Syrian See also:inscriptions from See also:Palmyra and the Hauran; by See also:Pausanias vi. 25, 6, Satrapes is mentioned as the name of a god who had a statue and a cult in Ells and is identified with Korybas. The origin of this god is obscure; perhaps it arose from a cult connected with a statue or a See also:tomb of some satrap.
