Saint Mirian - Definition

Mirian II (3rd century, AD) was the first Georgian king of Iberia (Kartli) in 265-342.

During one of the internecine quarrels, which were not infrequent in Georgia, the throne fell to Mirhan or Mirian, a son of the Persian king, who had married a daughter of Asphagor, the last sovereign of the Arsacid dynasty. With Mirian began the Sassanian dynasty of Iberia. He and his subjects were converted to Christianity by Saint Nino.
