Alinda agora

            [Alexander] appointed Hecatomnus' daughter Ada to the governorship of Caria as a whole. [Ada] was the wife of Hidrieus... [and] on his death-bed has bequeathed her his power, government by women having been a familiar thing in Asia... She was subsequently desposed by Pixodarus [her brother] who seized power, and was succeeded after his death by his son-in-law Orontobates, who has been appointed to this position by a warrant from the King [of Persia]. Ada meanwhile remained in control of Alinda only, one of the most strongly defended places in Caria, and when Alexander invaded Caria she presented herself before him, surrendered the town, and offered to adopt him as her son. Alexander did not refuse the offer. He restored Alinda to her, and when, after the fall of Halicarnassus, he found himself master of Caria, he put the whole country under her control.

From The Campaigns of Alexander  Book 1 [24] by Arrian (Translated by Aubrey de Selincourt)
