π Arsacid dynasty of Iberia in the context of Parthian language
The Parthian language, also known as Arsacid Pahlavi and PahlawΔnΔ«g, is an extinct ancient Northwestern Iranian language once spoken in Parthia, a region situated in present-day northeastern Iran and Turkmenistan. Parthian was the language of state of the Arsacid Parthian Empire (248 BC β 224 AD), as well as of its eponymous branches of the Arsacid dynasty of Armenia, Arsacid dynasty of Iberia, and the Arsacid dynasty of Caucasian Albania.
Parthian had a significant impact on Armenian, a large part of whose vocabulary was formed primarily from borrowings from Parthian, and had a derivational morphology and syntax that was also affected by language contact but to a lesser extent. Many ancient Parthian words were preserved and now survive only in Armenian. The Semnani or Komisenian languages and Zaza language have similarities with Parthian language and they may descend from Parthian directly or Northwestern Iranian languages with Parthian influences, but the topic lacks sufficient research.

Arsacid dynasty of Iberia in the context of Kingdom of Iberia
In Greco-Roman geography, Iberia (Ancient Greek: αΌΈΞ²Ξ·ΟΞ―Ξ± Iberia; Latin: Hiberia; Parthian: wurΔΔn; Middle Persian: wiruΔΔn) was an exonym for the Georgian kingdom of Kartli or Iveria (Georgian: α₯αα αααα‘ α‘αααα€α or αααα ααα‘ α‘αααα€α), known after its core province. The kingdom existed during Classical Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages, either as an independent state or as a dependent of larger empires, notably the Sassanid and Roman empires. Iberia, centered on present-day eastern Georgia, was bordered by Colchis in the west, Caucasian Albania in the east and Armenia in the south.
Its population, the Iberians (Iverians), formed the nucleus of the Kartvelians (i.e., Georgians). Iberia, ruled by the Pharnavazid, Artaxiad, Arsacid and Chosroid royal dynasties, together with Colchis to its west, would form the nucleus of the unified medieval Kingdom of Georgia under the Bagrationi dynasty.
Arsacid dynasty of Iberia in the context of Pharnavazid dynasty
The Pharnavazid (Georgian: α€αα ααααααααα, romanized: parnavaziani) is the name of the first dynasty of Georgian kings of Kartli (Iberia) preserved by The Georgian Chronicles. Their rule lasted, with intermissions, from the 3rd century BC to the 2nd century AD. The main male line is reported to have become extinct early on and followed by houses related to it in the female line. By the close of the 2nd century AD, the Pharnavazid rule came to an end and the Arsacid dynasty took over the crown of Iberia.
