From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sattagydia (Old Persian Thataguš, country of the "hundred cows") was a satrapy of the Achaemenid Empire, perhaps corresponding to the mountains between Iran and Pakistan. Sattagydia is mentioned for the first time in the Behistun inscription of Darius the Great as one of the provinces in revolt while the king was in Babylon. The revolt was perhaps suppressed in 515. The satrapy disappears from sources after 480 BCE, possible being mentioned by another name or included with other regions.[1]
