• (Geschiedenis) .Source 1

  Khosro III van Armenië (ca. 295 - 339) was koning van Armenië van 330 tot zijn overlijden in 339. Hij wordt ook Khosro de Kleine genoemd.
  
  Khosro werd koning als opvolger van zijn vader Tiridates IV van Armenië en stichtte in het begin van zijn regering de stad Dvin, later hoofdstad van het oude Armenië. Tijdens zijn bewind wordt de stemming in pro-Perzisch en anti-Romeinse en anti-christelijk. Ook is er veel verzet tegen de machtige positie van de familie Mamikonian. Dit resulteert in de moord op patriarch Aristakes (333) en een geslaagde inval van de Perzen onder Shapur II (335). Armenië moet daardoor enkele oostelijke provincies aan de Perzen afstaan. Tijdens de laatste jaren van zijn bewind is Armenië binnen de Perzische invloedssfeer.
  
  De naam van zijn vrouw is niet bekend. Hij had ten minste drie kinderen:
  
  Tigranes, die hem zou opvolgen als koning
  de dochters Varazdoukht en Bambischen. Zij trouwden respectievelijk met Pap en At'anagenes, zoons van de patriarch Husik

  Khosrov III the Small (Armenian: ?????? ? ?????, Khosrov III Kotak; Kotak means small, flourished second half of the 3rd century & first half of the 4th century, ruled 330-339) was a Prince who served as a Roman Client King of Arsacid Armenia.
  
  Khosrov was a monarch of Armenian, Persian, Greek, Medes and Sarmatian ancestry. He was the son and successor of King Tiridates III and Queen Ashkhen. His paternal aunt was the Princess Khosrovidukht; his sister was Princess Salome and had an unnamed sister who married St. Husik I, one of the earlier Catholicoi of the Armenian Apostolic Church. Khosrov received the epithet Kotak because he was a man of short stature. He was the namesake of his paternal grandfather Khosrov II of Armenia, and the Parthian and Armenian monarchs of this name, see Khosrau.
  
  Khosrov lacked the moral and physical vigour of his father,[1] yet he was very tactful, diplomatic and was backed by St. Vrtanes I.[2] Armenia under his rule enjoyed a period of prosperity. He founded a hunting ground (which was named after him) and the city of Dvin, which later became the Armenian capital.[3]
  
  During Khosrov’s reign, two generals, Vache Mamikonian and Vahan Amatuni, distinguished themselves for their valor in battle, often coming to help the king. During these years, pro-Sassanid and anti-Mamikonian sentiment grew in Armenia and so did anti-Roman sentiment. Pro-Sassanid groups gained popularity so much so that they were successful in assassinating Catholicos St. Aristaces I, second son of Gregory the Illuminator. The Sassanid King Shapur II of the Persians invaded Armenia twice and did gain some territory. Vache Mamikonian was killed in those battles and was later named a saint by the Armenian Apostolic Church for his sacrifice. Khosrov died in 339 and was succeeded by his son Tigranes VII (Tiran).
  
  By an unnamed wife, Khosrov had three children:
  
  Son, Tigranes VII, also known as Tiran.
  Daughter, Varazdoukht. She married Papas (Pap), the first son of St. Husik I who renounced his Catholicos position in 348.
  Daughter, Bambish. She married At’anaganes, the second son of St. Husik I. Bambish and At’anaganes had a son called Nerses, who would become a future Catholicos of Armenia.

  Khosrov III (en arménien ?????? ?) le Petit, Godag ou Kotak est un roi arsacide d'Arménie, ayant régné de 330 à 339. Fils de Tiridate IV d'Arménie, il lui succède en 330. La même année, il fonde la ville de Dvin, une des capitales historiques de l'Arménie.
  
  Au cours son règne se développe au sein de la population un sentiment pro-sassanide, anti-Mamikonian et anti-romain. Le Catholicos Aristakès Ier, fils de saint Grégoire Ier l'Illuminateur, est ainsi assassiné. Le roi perse sassanide Shapur II en tire avantage pour envahir l'Arménie et lui prendre quelques territoires. Le général Vatché Mamikonian est tué dans les combats ; il est ultérieurement canonisé par l'Église apostolique arménienne.
