539 CE
Artabanes's father tries to negotiate a settlement with Sittas' successor, Bouzes, but is murdered by the latter.
This act forces Artabanes and his followers to seek the aid of Khosrau I.
Crossing over to Persian territory, over the next few years Artabanes and those who follow him will take part in Khosrau's campaigns against the Romans.
