In 535 BC the Persian king Cyrus the Great organized most of the newly conquered territories of the former Neo-Babylonian Empire as a single satrapy, " Babylonia and Eber-Nari". The satrap resided in Babylon and there were subgovernors in Eber-Nari, one of which was Tettenai , mentioned in both the Bible and Babylonian cuneiform documents. This organization remainded untouched until at least 486 BC ( Xerxes I 's reign), but before c. 450 BC the "mega-satrapy" was split into two—Babylonia and Eber-Nari.
