Datames or Datamas also Tarkamuwa was a persian leader of Cadusii
I waiting for evidence and clear arguments and facts why Datames was not the leader of the Cadusii 2001:16B8:667:A300:9DED:B40A:2265:864E (talk) 14:05, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you should try reading your own sources first;


 * "Datamas, the Persian leader of the Cadusians (Cyrop. V. 3.38; 4,16) duplicates the famous satrap of Artaxerxes"


 * "Cyrus' commanders, who had figured repeatedly in Xenephon's text, are probably fictitious characters. Hystaspas and Datamas (Cadusian leader, Xen. Cyrop. V. 3.38) are Persian names."


 * I can't see what the second source says, but it also talks about the Cyropaedia, which is a semi-fictional biography of Cyrus the Great, who lived almost 200 years before Datames.
