Arshâma (reign circa 600BC-560BC)
Arshama(western: Arsames) was the son of Ariyaramna, and like his father a tablet of his reign remained at Ecbatana. He is believed to have ruled regions in the north Iran, north of the Anshan lineage. His reign probably ended around 560BC when all of Persia and Media was combined into Kuroush's vast empire. His son Vishtapa became satrap of Hyrcania. Vishtapa's son, Darayavaush took control of the empire after Kambujiyahya. Arshama was still alive when Darayavaush took over the Persian empire. So Arshama must have lived a long life.
