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). == History == The title is first attested in the Achaemenid Empire in its Old Persian form, hazāra-pati (from *hazāra- "thousand" and *pati- "chief"), the commanding officer of the Immortals.
