    Note: APAMĀ, name of several noble women of the Achaemenid and Hellenistic periods, probably related to the Av. apama- “the latest,” hence “the youngest [child], nestling” (W. Hinz, Altiranisches Sprachgut der Nebenüberlieferungen, Wiesbaden, 1975, p. 31). The bearers of this name include: 1. A daughter of Artaxerxes II, whom the king gave in marriage to the Pharnacid satrap of the Hellespontine-Phrygia, Pharnabazus, in about 388 B.C. (Plutarch Artaxerxes 27). She was the mother of the famous Artabazus (K. J. Beloch, “Artabazos,” Janus: Festschrift für C. F. Lehmann-Haupt, Vienna and Leipzig, l921, p. 8).
