“Joh. Eph., EH 2.20, narrates that the Persian king Khosrow sent one of his generals to Armenia in order to erect fire temples and to suppress the rebellion of the Armenian Christians. This was Cihor-Wsnasp, called Surena in the Greek sources because he belonged to the family of the Suren. He was killed by the rebellious Armenians in 572.” 2
