"He subdued the Mardians, and conquered their territory in the Alborz mountains, as well as reclaimed Hyrcania." Reclaimed Hyrcania from who? If it was independent and he simply conquered it, the "as well as" is redundant.
"The attack must have been part of the Parthian efforts to expand their domain in Iran proper and secure control over Hyrcania." Must have? Was it or was it not?
"They would first achieve this under Phraates' successor Mithridates I." Not particularly relevant here - remove it or put it somewhere later in the article.
"Furthermore, he also reclaimed Hyrcania." Again, from who?
"which suggests that Phraates deliberately" This reads like speculation.
"Phraates notably appointed his brother Mithridates as his successor." How is it notable when in the next sentence, it's said to be a common practice?
His choice is unusual in a world where the throne usually passed to the son. This curious choice of his is often mentioned by historians who speculate the reason(s) behind it. --HistoryofIran (talk) 00:16, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
