Abulites
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abulites (Greek Αβουλίτης) was the satrap of Susiana. He surrendered Susa to Alexander the Great when the latter approached the city. The satrapy was restored to him by Alexander, but he and his son Oxathres were afterwards executed by Alexander for the crimes they had committed in the government of the satrapy.[1][2][3]
