Hi @HistoryofIran:. Thanks for starting this article on Darayan I. By the way, do you know were the name "Darayan" comes from, given that his coins only say d’ryw? Also, regarding his title: "Darayan I, unlike his predecessors, used the title of shah ("king")"... I am not seeing the title "Shah" anywhere, and his coins say mlk, Malik for "King". Are we sure about this "Shah" thing? पाटलिपुत्रPat(talk)21:59, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The first king (Šah) of Persis in Arsacid vassalage, who probably was instated following the accession of Ftahad II, the later sar mdtdti, after 25/26.-30/31.1.133 BCE, was Darayan I, who is associated with the establishment of a new dynasty in Persis, whose rulers, unlike their predecessors, the fratarakd, called themselves Šah "king," and who may be dubbed the Darayanids, as we have shown elsewhere, Shayegan page 178. Mlk (Malik) was also by other dynasties of the Near East due to Aramaic being the administrative language. --HistoryofIran (talk) 22:05, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
