Revolt of the Persian Satraps

Does anyone know exactly what year this revolt started. So far I've gotten various dates-372,370,366,and 362. It's more unhelpful now that I discovered that Diodorus stated that the revolt began in the archonship of Molon at Athens..which is in 362 according to the wikipedia list. Yet from what I can gather, 362 makes the least sense, since Datames (the instigator of the rebellion) was murdered in 362 and the rebels had received aid from the Greeks in the 360s. It doesn't help that I cannot find a date provided by Cornelius Nepos either.
 
Odd. Reading Diodorous Siculus, the two Roman consuls he cites were also in 362 BC, but it sounds a lot like he's seriously condensing down the revolt (it goes from revolt to the end in a mere two paragraphs, when I doubt it was that short in reality.)

Yeah, it just doesn't really make sense. Cornelius Nepos goes into a lot more detail on his biography of Datamas but he frustratingly doesn't provide a date.
