Who is Artasyrus?

Artasyrus an Armenian recorded as being the Satrap of Armenia during the reign of king Artaxerxes II. His son Orontes was already Satrap of Matiene during the reign of the same king, so it appears there is confusion in the historical records, which is understandable in that western sources about these satraps derive from ancient Greek sources which mostly recorded events in Greece or western Asia Minor.

There are few English language sources to fully explain who he was, when he was born or died.
