Mithridates (in Greek Mιθριδατης; lived 4th century BC), son of Ariobarzanes prince of Cius, is mentioned by Xenophon1 as having betrayed his father, and the same circumstance is alluded to by Aristotle2. It is possible that he is the same Mithridates who accom­panied the younger Cyrus, but there is no proof of this; also, he may be the same with the Mithridates mentioned by Xenophon3 as satrap of Cappadocia and Lycaonia. It appears that he was dead before 363 BC, when Ariobarzanes II made himself master of the family fiefdom of Cius in Mysia.4
