Tiribazus, Tiribazos or Teribazus (Old Iranian: Tīrībāzu; ) ( 440 BC–370 BC) was an Achaemenid satrap of Armenia and later satrap of Lydia in western Anatolia.
==Satrap of Western Armenia== He was highly regarded by the Persian King Artaxerxes II, and when he was present, so Xenophon tells us, no one else had the honour of helping the sovereign to mount his horse.
