Phrasaortes was named satrap of Persis by Alexander

Phrasaortes was a Persian satrap of Persis under Alexander the Great c. 330 BCE.[1] He was a son of Rheomithres.[1] Phrasaortes replaced the Achaemenid satrap Ariobarzanes, who had confronted Alexander at the Battle of the Persian Gate, where he was killed.[2][3]

Phrasaortes died at some point before the return of Alexander from India in 324 BCE.[2][4] He was replaced by Orxines, a Persian noble, without the permission of Alexander, in a direct challenge to Alexander's authority. Orxines was executed by Alexander, and replaced by the Macedonian general Peucestas.[2]
