Research Notes:
noted as "fille" d'Artabazos (Strab.), trans unclear [Ref: Settipani LGA p139]

Winter 324 BC: Alexander the Great organized the marriage of his generals with the noblest young Persian girls. Of these unions, only the one of Seleukos and Apama daughter of Spitamenes survived. [Ref: Settipani LGA p130]

that she was honored as queen, and gave birth to the heir of the throne, was extraordinary honor for a foreigner of the overcome race, and attests a royal origin [Ref: Settipani LGA p130]

six of this name, probably all inter-related [Ref: Settipani LGA p130]

city of Apameia, without doubt a personal possession of the daughter of Spitamenes, was called previously Pharnake, which indicates a link between Apama and Pharnacides [Ref: Settipani LGA p138]

Stabon said precisely that Apama, spouse of Seleukos, was the daughter of Artabazos. That is evidently false, but Strabon is generally well regarded (he had written a work on Alexander), and the better way to explain his error seems to be that Apama was "issue" or "family" of Artabazos [Ref: Settipani LGA p138]
