Page "Shapur III" Paragraph 3

According to this treaty, Armenia was partitioned between the Romans and the Persians.

Therefore two kingdoms were formed, one a vassal of Rome and the other, of Persia.

The smaller of these, which comprised the more western districts, which was assigned to Rome was committed to the charge of the Arsaces III ( Arshak III ) who had been made king by Manuel Mamikonian, the son of the unfortunate Papas ( Pap ), and the grandson of Arsaces II ( Arshak II ) contemporary with Julian the Apostate.

The larger portion, which consisted of the regions lying towards the east, passed under the suzerainty of Persia, and was handed over to an Arshakuni, named Khosrov IV, a Christian.

Thus friendly relations were established between Rome and Persia which survived for thirty-six years.
