#Caranus probably a relative of the foregoing, whose wedding feast was described in a letter by Hippolochus
The bridegroom was a certain Caranus, probably a relative of the Caranus who had been a companion of Alexander the Great.
At least he is termed by Arrian satrap of Parthia, during the advance of Alexander against Bessus, when he was detached by the king, together with Erigyius and Caranus to crush the revolt of Satibarzanes, in Aria (329 BC).
According to Arrian, upon this, he sent a force against him, led by Artabazus, Erigyius, and Caranus.
Cisseus is also the name of a local king, defeated by Macedonians, Perdiccas, Caranus and Archelaus in various versions of the myth.
