''Hazarbed'' (meaning "the commander of thousand"), also known as ''hazaruft'', was a Sasanian office which functioned as the commander of the royal guard. == History == The title is first attested in the Achaemenid Empire in its Old Persian form, ''hazāra-pati'' (from *''hazāra-'' "thousand" and *''pati-'' "chief"). The ''hazarbed'' controlled units of guards which were enlisted from royal families of the Sasanian Empire. One of the units that the ''hazarbed'' controlled was the ''pushtigban'' bodyguard, while other times it would be the palace guards (''darigan''), or in some cases other units, such as the 4,000 Dailamite guard which served the last great Sasanian king, Khosrau II (590-628). The ''hazarbed'' was in charge of the king's safety and the commander of the royal guard. The ''hazarbed'' also controlled the entrance of the kings palace, presented visitors to the king, was allowed to be given military command or used in negotiations. The ''hazarbed'' was also allowed in some cases to serve as the royal executioner. During the reign of Shapur I (r. 240–270), the ''hazarbed'' may have briefly taken over the ''spahbed'' office, as it is not listed in the inscriptions of Shapur I. However, the ''spahbed'' office reappears in the inscriptions of Shapur's son Narseh (r. 293–302). The office of ''hazarbed'' is also mentioned in his inscriptions among many others. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hazarbed」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
