Tlepolemus

2. The son of Pythophanes, one of the ἑταῖροι or body-guard of Alexander the Great, was joined in the government of the Parthyaei and Hyrcanii with Amminapes, a Parthyaean, whom Alexander had appointed satrap of those provinces. At a later period Tlepolemus was appointed by Alexander satrap of Caramania, which he retained on the death of Alexander in B. C. 323, and also at the fresh division of the provinces at Triparadisus in B. C. 321. (Arrian, Arr. Anab. 3.22, 6.27; Diod. 18.3, 39.)
