Zariadres

Zariadres (Armenian:Զարեհ Zareh) was a King of Sophene.

Strabo cites Sophene being taken over by a "general" of king Antiochus III by 200 BC, called Zariadres.

Following the defeat of Antiochus III by the Romans at the Battle of Magnesia in 190 BC, Zariadres and Artaxias* revolted and with Roman consent began to reign as kings at the Treaty of Apamea in 188 BC; Zariadres over Sophene and Artaxias over Armenia.
