Artavasdes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Artabazus)

Artavasdes is the Hellenized form of the Iranian name *R̥tavazdāʰ. Variant renderings in Greek include Artabazos (Ἀρτάβαζος), Artabazes (Ἀρταβάζης), and Artabasdos (Ἀρτάβασδος); in Armenian Artavazd (Արտավազդ); and in Latin Ardabastus or Artabasdus. Artavasdes' name is the Latin attestation of an Old Iranian name *Ṛtavazdah-, identical to the Avestan Ašavazdah, presumably meaning "powerful/persevering through truth"
