In his CATALOGUE of XERXES’ invasion force of 480 BCE, Herodotus names Arsames as commander of the ARABIANS and ETHIOPIANS (7.69.2). Arsames was the son of DARIUS I and his favorite wife ARTYSTONE, thus a half‐brother of Xerxes; he was named after Darius’ grandfather, according to the GENEALOGY Xerxes gives for himself (7.11.2). Arsames is attested (Elam. Iršama) in the Elamite Persepolis Fortification texts, often alongside his mother in the operation of a royal estate (Henkelman 2010, 699–703). AESCHYLUS places his death at the Battle of SALAMIS (Pers. 308), though he is probably incorrect in naming him satrap of EGYPT (Pers. 36–37).
