Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology/Abistamenes

by William Smith

ABI'STAMENES was appointed governor of Cappadocia by Alexander the Great. (Curt. iii. 4.) He is called Sabictas by Arrian. (Anab. ii. 4.) Gronovius conjectures that instead of Abistamene Cappadociae praeposito, we ought to read Abicta magnae Cappadociae, &c.
