Pharasmanes V of Iberia


P'arsman V, of the Chosroid Dynasty, was the king of Iberia from 547 to 561.
Parsman was the son and successor of Bakur II, and was succeeded by his nephew P'arsman VI.
According to the medieval Armenian adaptation of the Georgian Chronicles, in the reign of Parsman, the Ossetians attacked and ravaged Kartli, prompting Parsman to place himself under the Persian protection on terms of paying tribute. However, this version differs from that given by the Georgian original in the History of King Vakhtang Gorgasali, where nothing is said about the Alans and an unprovoked Persian aggression is recalled.
