بلاد العرب الأخمينية
𐎠𐎼𐎲𐎠𐎹، أربايا Arabāya
بلاد العرب أو أربايا (Arabia ؛ المسمارية الفارسية القديمة: 𐎠𐎼𐎲𐎠𐎹, Arabāya) كانت ساتراپي، أي احدى مقاطعات الإمبراطورية الأخمينية.[2] Achaemenid Arabia corresponded to the lands between Nile Delta (Egypt) and Mesopotamia, later known to Romans as Arabia Petraea. According to Herodotus, Cambyses did not subdue the Arabs when he attacked Egypt in 525 BCE. His successor Darius the Great mentions the Arabs in the Behistun inscription from the first years of his reign, and in later texts. This suggests that Darius might have conquered this part of Arabia,[3] or that it was originally part of another province, perhaps Achaemenid Babylonia, but later became its own province.

Arabs were not considered as subjects to the Achaemenids, as other peoples were, and were exempt from taxation. Instead, they simply provided 1,000 talents of frankincense a year. They also helped the Achaemenids invade Egypt by providing water skins to the troops crossing the desert.[4]
They were enrolled in the Achaemenid army and participated to the الغزو الفارسي الثاني لليونان (479–480 ق.م.). وثمة جندي عربي في خدمة الأخمينيين مصوّر في نقش نافر في المقابر الإمبراطورية في نقش رستم.
