PACORUS II

flourished , 1st and 2nd centuries AD king of Parthia (reigned AD 78c. 115/116). Little is known of his reign, which seems to have been filled with rebellions and the rule of counterkings (Artabanus IV, Osroes, and Vologases II). In 110 Pacorus sold the Parthian client kingdom of Osrone to Abgar VII, son of Izates, ruler of Adiabene. It is uncertain whether Pacorus was alive when the Roman emperor Trajan invaded Mesopotamia (114115).
