Bartacus [1]
bar´ta -kus ( Βάρτακος , Bártakos ; Josephus Ῥαβεζάκης , Rhabezákēs ; Vulgate (Jerome's Latin Bible , 390-405 ad) Bezazes (1 Esdras 4:29)): The father of Apame. He is called "the illustrious," probably because of rank and merits. The family seems to be of Persian origin since the name Bartacus (Syriac ארטק ) in the form of Artachaeas is mentioned by Herodotus (vii.22.117) as a person of rank in the Persian army of Xerxes and the name of his daughter Apame is identical with that of a Persian princess who married Seleucus I, Nicator, and became the mother of Antiochus I. Apamea, a city in Asia Minor founded by Seleucus I, is named in honor of his wife Apame. Compare Apame; Illustrious .
