Possible conflation of two different people

[edit]

This page appears to have conflated two different figures, both named Autophradates:

1.) the Satrap of Lydia under Artaxerxes II, active from the 390s-350s BC, who was involved in the events of the Great Satraps' Revolt;

2.) the Achaemenid general who campaigned against Alexander in the Aegean as recounted by Arrian.

Not only would Autophradates have been over 70 years old if these are the same person, but Arrian names Spithridates as Lydian satrap at the Granicus. Unless Autophradates abdicated or was deposed, this should indicate that a conflation has occurred. Spithridates is also listed as satrap for this period in the following Wikipedia articles:

If anyone has evidence supporting the current state of the page I would appreciate it if you shared it.

I would also appreciate any further information on either Autophradates
