Although most scholars assume Artapanus lived in Alexandria,others argue he resided in the countryside. Regardless,Artapanus lived in Egypt. His name,however,is a rather curious one;for Hystaspes' son,and the Achaemenian king Darius the Great's brother's name was also Artap/banus. It is also the name of several Iranian historical personalities,including five of the Parthian kings'. In modern Persian it is Ardavān.
