A provincial governor in ancient Persia (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

satrap

(Other definitions for satrap that I've seen before include "Old head" , "Persian governor of old; small-time dictator" , "Sparta (anag.)" , "Persian provincial governor" , "Old Persian governor took a seat to start" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
