Hazarbed

Hazārbed (Middle Persian: ḥčʾlpt, or hazarbadh, literally "the commander of thousand"), also known as hazaruft/hazaraft (Middle Persian: hz’lwpt; possibly the older/original form), was a Sasanian office which initially functioned as the commander of the royal guard, but later became increasingly equal to that of the wuzurg framadar (minister).
