Cotys

Cotys was a name common to several kings of Thrace. The most important of them, who began his reign in 382 BC, was involved with the Athenians in a dispute for the possession of the Thracian Chersonese[?]. In this he was assisted by the Athenian Iphicrates[?], to whom he had given his daughter in marriage. On the revolt of Ariobarzanes[?] from Persia, Cotys opposed him and his ally, the Athenians. In 358 he was murdered by the sons of a man whom he had wronged.
