SAT'RAPA, SAT'RAPES, and SATRAP'S (σατράπης). A satrap; i. e. a Persian officer of high rank, who acted in the capacity of governor of a province, or viceroy for the king. (Quint. Curt. iii. 13. Nepos, Con. 2.) One of the distinctive badges of these personages consisted in the right of wearing a tall, stiff, upright cap (tiara recta), which, as being worn by the annexed figure (Satrapa/1.1), from a Persepolitan sculpture, induces the belief that it represents an officer of the quality described.
