Aslamas Beg

Aslamas Beg, also known as Aslan Khan, was a Safavid official and military commander of Georgian origin. A scion of the Orbeliani family, Aslamas was the second son of Vakhushti Khan, the former governor of Shushtar.
He was appointed prefect of Isfahan, the royal capital, in 1683. Known for being hostile to the Armenians, he issued a ban on non-Muslims leaving their houses and appearing in public in times of rain as they would otherwise taint believers. The ban was cancelled after the wealthy Armenian merchants of New Julfa appealed to the queen mother, Nakihat Khanum. Aslamas Beg later served as the commander of the élite gholam corps in 1693–1695, and as the governor of Qandahar in 1694–1695, or 1696–1697.
Aslamas's son, Mohammad-Ali Khan, briefly served as commander of the artillery in 1722. Aslamas's namesake grandson, who died in 1740, later served as a beglarbeg of Georgia during the reign of Nader Shah.
