Khusrau I Anushirwan - ܡܠܟܐ ܕܦܪ̈ܣܝܐ / ܡܠܟ ܡܠܟ̈ܐ / ܦܪܣܝܐ

http://syriaca.org/person/2244
Khosrow was king of the Sasanian Empire and repeatedly waged war with the Roman Empire. He was Zoroastrian and occasionally persecuted the growing Christian minority, as is remembered for instance in Joh. Eph., EH 2.18-22. Yet at the same time, John depicts him, in EH 6.20-21, also as a wise and philosophically interested ruler, an image that is shared by other historians such as Agathias.8
