Former Persian governor (6)

I believe the answer is:

satrap

(Other definitions for satrap that I've seen before include "Persian provincial governor" , "A sprat for the old governor of Persia" , "despotic ruler" , "Persian governor of old; small-time dictator" , "Old Persian governor took a seat to start" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
