Title

Priestly Lineage of the Sasanids

Pages

  23-70

Abstract

 Reviewing the narration of Muhammad ibn Jarir Tabari (died: 310 AH) on ; ; n, the ancestor of the Sasanians and his connection with the Fire Temple of the goddess Anā; hitā; in Pars Istakhr and comparing this report with the Zoroastrian legal knowledge of the Sasanian period, Pedram Jam in a new study titled “ Were Sasanians of Priestly Lineage? ” concludes that ; ; n was “ the Lord of Fire” and did not have a religious position in this temple. He also compares the Agathias’ report, a Byzantine historian, on the lineage and family background of Ardaš; ī; r son of Bā; bak (224-240 AD), the founder of the Sasanian Empire, with other historical sources and believes that Agathias’ account has nothing to do with the priestly lineage of Ardaš; ī; r and his family. Thus, Jam assumes the view of Iranian and non-Iranian scholars on the priestly descent of the Sasanians and that according to Tabari, they considered ; ; n as a “ mobed” , “ hē rbed“ or “ guardian of the Fire Temple of Anā; hitā; ” in Istkhar, Pars or that according to Agathias, they regarded Ardaš; ī; r as a clergy man, to be misinterpretations of the Tabari’ s and Agathias’ narrations and he considers the ancestors of Ardaš; ī; r as local aristocrats of Pars province. Nevertheless, I believe that Jam’ s perceptions and conclusions are incorrect and Sasanians were indeed of priestly lineage. Analyzing the reports of Tabari and Agathias and also the views of some Iranian and non-Iranian scholars about the Sasanian descent and the identity and the status of ; ; n and Bā bak and their connection with the Anā; hitā; Fire Temple in Istakhr, Pars, this study criticizes the recent view and approach of Jam on the aristocratic origin of Sasanians and non-priestly lineage of them.
