Hyspaosines or Aspasine (born c. 209 BC, died 124 BC) was a satrap installed by Antiochus IV Epiphanes and later the first king (before 127-124 BC) of Characene or Mesene (Meshun). Hyspaosines is mainly known from coins, but also appears in texts of cuneiform script (in the 'astronomical diaries'). Pliny the Elder mentions that he was the son of a certain "Sagdodonacos the king of Arabs".
