A people mentioned in II Esd. 15:30. The Carmanians are represented as joining battle with the "nations of the dragons of Arabia." The dragons gain the upper hand, but are themselves defeated later (15:33). This has been taken to refer to the time of the Sassanids. Sapor I. (240-273) invaded Syria and took Antioch, but was repulsed by Odenathus and Zenobia. Zenobia was afterward defeated by Aurelian and taken captive.

The name is still preserved in "Kirman," a district in the southeastern part of Persia, on the shores of the Persian Gulf.
