Under the great king Artaxerxes II , Autophradates officiated as satrap of Lydia and Ionia . As a royal general he was entrusted with the fight against the revolting Artabazos , satrap of the Hellespontian Phrygia, who he was probably in the autumn of 364 BC.

His successor as satrap was probably Rhosakes . To what extent Autophradates with the fleet commander of the same name from 334 BC Chr. Was identical or related is unclear.
