Strong's Lexicon achashdarpenin: Satraps Original Word: אֲחַשְׁדַּרְפְּנִין Word Origin: Of Persian origin Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for "satrap" is not directly listed in Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the term is specific to the Persian administrative system. However, the concept of regional governors can be related to terms like "ἡγεμών" (hēgemōn, Strong's Greek 2232), meaning "governor" or "leader." Usage: The term "achashdarpenin" refers to a governor or a provincial ruler in the ancient Persian Empire. These officials were responsible for overseeing specific regions or provinces, maintaining order, collecting taxes, and ensuring loyalty to the central government. The role of a satrap was significant in the administrative structure of the Persian Empire, reflecting a system of governance that allowed for local autonomy under the overarching authority of the king. Cultural and Historical Background: The concept of satraps originated in the Persian Empire, particularly during the reign of Darius I (522–486 BC). The empire was divided into various provinces, each governed by a satrap who acted as the king's representative. This system allowed the Persian Empire to manage its vast territories effectively. The satraps were often members of the nobility and wielded considerable power, but they were also subject to checks by royal inspectors to prevent rebellion or corruption.
