Barzabod
Barzabod, was the Mihranid prince of Gardman from 430 to 440. He was the son and successor of Khurs.
During his early reign, he maintained good relations with the Iberian ruler Archil. Barzabad had a daughter named Sagdukht, who married Archil's son Mihrdat V, abandoned her Zoroastrian faith in favor for Christianity, and bore him a son named Vakhtang, who would later succeed Mihrdat as the ruler of Iberia. Barzabod later died in 440, and was succeeded by his son Varaz-Bakur.
