Georgian

- List (rulers)
Remarks:
This royal list is transmitted exclusively in the ecclesiastical corpus Mok‛ts‛evay k‛art‛lisay. The work addresses the kings of the Christian Chosroid (Xosroiani) dynasty after its founder Mirian (r. 284-361), whose received history is transmitted in the ecclesiastical Conversion of K‛art‛li and Life of Nino. It ends with the passage of the Byzantine emperor Heraclius (r. 610-641) through eastern Georgia as he campaigned against Sasanian Iran.
A similar and extended (but not identical) account of the period appears in The life of the kings.
