So far he is only known from his coins. A first series bears Greek legends and shows him on the front in frontal view in Parthian costume. On the back the Artemis Nanaya appears. A second series bears Aramaic inscriptions, as well as on the front the portrait of the ruler in profile, again in Parthian costume, and describes him as the son of King Orodes. On the back is again the image of Artemis-Nanaya. There are Greek legends here.The name Elymais probably goes back to Elam, although this etymology has been doubted. In cuneiform texts the region is still referred to as Elam. The capital of Elymais was often Susa, which actually did not belong directly to this region, and Seleucia on the Hedyphon. The exact boundaries of the Elymais are not certain. Strabo (XVI.1.17) reports that Elymais was divided into three provinces: Gabiane, Massabatene and Korbiane. The meaning of the term province is controversial in this case. Other ancient authors, however, report that Susiana also belonged to Elymais.
