description The Peace of 298, also known as the First Peace of Nisibis, was a peace treaty signed by the Roman and Sasanian empires. The terms of the treaty are known from a 6th-century CE summary of its content by Byzantine historian Peter the Patrician. The present paper is focused on two fragments (F 201 and F 202), describing the diplomatic negotiations in Narseh’s palace. The author’s goal is to identify the Persian envoys, who accompanied the king of Ērānšahr. Based on the non-Byzantine sources, it should be assumed that the Narseh’s envoys described by Peter the Patrician were hazāruft Aphpharban and (h)argbed Shapur.
