ArameansThe Khuzistan Chronicle
“Isho Yahb was treated respectfully throughout his life by the king himself and by his two Christian wives, Shirin the Aramean and Mary the Greek.”
Reading this suggests that one of the wives of the Persian king Khosrau II Parvez (r. 590–628) during the lifetime of Isho Yahb was an Aramean Christian. Shirin is well known in the literature and is widely considered to have been an Aramean Christian, which in turn suggests that Arameans were still a significant presence in the 7th century.
