Sames (Armenian: Շամուշ Greek: Σαμωσ) was Satrap of Commagene.War between the Seleucid Empire and the Ptolemaic Kingdom seems to have allowed Sames an opportunity of independence. What side he took in the Syrian Wars is unknown as most of the records of that era have been lost though it would make sense that he would have supported the Ptolemaic Kingdom against his large and powerful neighbour the Seleucid Empire.Most sources give Orontes III as his father.
