I waiting for evidence and clear arguments and facts why Datames was not the leader of the Cadusii 2001:16B8:667:A300:9DED:B40A:2265:864E (talk) 14:05, 20 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps you should try reading your own sources first;

"Datamas, the Persian leader of the Cadusians (Cyrop. V. 3.38; 4,16) duplicates the famous satrap of Artaxerxes"

"Cyrus' commanders, who had figured repeatedly in Xenephon's text, are probably fictitious characters. Hystaspas and Datamas (Cadusian leader, Xen. Cyrop. V. 3.38) are Persian names."

I can't see what the second source says, but it also talks about the Cyropaedia, which is a semi-fictional biography of Cyrus the Great, who lived almost 200 years before Datames.
