Despite the reference from: http://www.american-pictures.com/genealogy/persons/per01339.htm#0, that places her as the mother of Archelaus Minor, no other reference cites Pythodorida as his or his sister, Glaphyra’s, mother. Eg: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythodorida_of_Pontus

In the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archelaus_of_Cappadocia article about Archelaus & Glaphyra’s father, Pythdorida is explicitly stated to have been his second wife, with whom he had no children.
Here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glaphyra it states “Glaphyra's mother, the first wife of Archelaus, was an Armenian Princess whose name is unknown and who died by 8 BCE”

I am therefore removing Pythodorida as the mother of Archelaus.
