'''Xerxes II'' and '''Sogdianus'', sons of [[Artaxerxes I Longimanus|Artaxerxes I]] allegedly consecutively ruled Persia in the year 424-423BC.

'''Xerxes II''' (Old Persian:𐎧𐏁𐎹𐎠𐎼𐏁𐎠, Greek:Ξέρξης) and '''Sogdianus''', sons of [[Artaxerxes I Longimanus|Artaxerxes I]] allegedly consecutively ruled Persia in the year 424-423BC.

 

We currently have no existing steles or clay tablets with the names of Xerxes (II) or Sogdianus engraved upon them; their existence is solely known to us through the works of [[Ctesias]].  We do have a coin minted in [[Sardis]], possibly under Xerxes II.
