Bacurius II


Bakur II, of the Chosroid Dynasty, was a king of Iberia from 534 to 547.
The name Bacurius is the Latin form of the Greek Bakour, itself a variant of the Middle Iranian Pakur, derived from Old Iranian bag-puhr. The name "Bakur" is the Georgian and Armenian attestation of Middle Iranian Pakur.
Bakur was the son and successor of King Dachi. According to the medieval Georgian chronicler Juansher, he died leaving young children and Iberia fell under Sassanid control. He had two children, Pharasmanes V and one of the parents of Pharasmanes VI.
