230 CE
Ardashir has marched also on Oman and Bahrain, where he has defeated Sanatruq the ruler of Bahrain.
Bahrain is known at this time as Mishmahig (which in Middle-Persian/Pahlavi means "ewe-fish").
Bahrain is also the site of worship of a shark deity called Awal.
Worshipers have built a large statue to Awal in Muharraq, although it has now been lost.
