Summary/Abstract: This paper addresses the representation of Khosrow II (Khusraw) in the Pahlavi text Māh ī Farwardīn rōz ī Hordād Despite the historical importance of the last signifi cant Sasanian ruler, his remembrance is scarcely mentioned in Pahlavi literature Māh ī Farwardīn rōz ī Hordād is exceptional, however, in this respect, because it preserved a chapter containing a list of miracles and treasures of Khosrow II which is very similar to Arabic and Classical Persian testimonies on Khosrow II This creates a broader perspective for the interpretation of Pahlavi traditions in the light of Islamic sources.
