Ariarathes VI Epiphanes Philopator ("God Manifest, Father-loving") ruled the kingdom of Cappadocia between c. 130 and 116
BC. He was the youngest of the six sons of Ariarates V and Nysa and the only one to survive the plotting of his murderous
mother. He swept to power during a popular uprising that overthrew Nysa, but he was a weak ruler and became a virtual puppet
of Mithradates V of Pontus. As he grew older, he was increasingly disinclined to accept Pontic interference in the affairs
of his kingdom. He was subsequently assassinated in 116 BC by a Cappadocian noble at the instigation of Mithradates VI of
Pontus.
