(Χοσροής ) is the Greek form of a name said to be applied in the Zendavesta, as well as in the Shah Nameh, to the great Cyrus (q.v.). The name is certainly not a corruptions of Kurush (Cyrus), nor can the latter be a corruption of it; but seems to be somewhat common to Persian kings, as descended from Cyrus. It was not, however, the common royal name of any line, as Asaces was with the Parthians, but was borne individually by several monarchs.
