Eran-asan-kerd-Kawad or Iran asan kar(t) Kavad (Middle Persian: 𐭠𐭩𐭫𐭠𐭭𐭠𐭮𐭠𐭭𐭪𐭫𐭪𐭥𐭠𐭲 ʾylʾnʾsʾnklkwʾt,[1] meaning "Kavad [has] made Ērān peaceful") was a Sasanian city founded by Kavad I (r. 488–496, 498–531) in the Hulwan region.[2] It was the capital of a province possibly identical to the Hulwan region and bordering the provinces of Syarazur (Shahrizor) and Garamig.[3] The geographer Josef Markwart placed the city between Adiabene and Garamig. It is mentioned in both Armenian sources and the Middle Persian Šahrestānīhā ī Ērānšahr ("Provincial Capitals of Ērān").[2]
