Dad-windad

1840 illustration of a Sasanian relief at Firuzabad, celebrating Ardashir I's victory over Artabanus IV. On the relief, Ardashir is portrayed as riding on a horse whilst ousting Artabanus IV, who is also mounted. Ardashir I's son Shapur I, also on horseback, is portrayed as impaling Dad-windad with his lance.[1]

Dad-windad (also spelled Dad-bendad) was a Parthian grandee, who served as the chief secretary (dabirbad) of the last Arsacid monarch, Artabanus IV (r. 213–224). He took part in the climactic battle of Hormozdgan in 224 between the Arsacid and Sasanian forces, which resulted in the defeat and death of Artabanus IV, with Dad-windad meeting his end shortly afterwards.
