Mahuy Suri was the son of Suri, a Marghianian (modern Mary/Merv) satrap of the country of Marghiana during Yazdegerd III’s rule. After the Arab invasion he and Yazdegerd III, who fled to Merv from the Arabic army, were killed in Merv with a large part of the population. According to the Shahnameh, satrap of Khorasan, Mahuy Suri, treacherously asked one of his millers to kill Yazdgerd III, the last Persian king, after his defeat in Iraq. Together with his father, they are occasionally referred to as the Suri dynasty.
| “ | Mahui sends the miller to cut off his head on pain of losing his own, and having none of his race left alive. His chiefs hear this and cry out against him, and a Mobed of the name of Radui tells him that to kill a king or prophet will bring evil upon him and his son, and is supported in what he says by a holy m,an of the name of Hormuzd Kharad Shehran, and Mehronush.
The miller most unwillingly goes in and stabs him with a dagger in the middle. Mahui s horsmen all go and see him and take off his clothing and ornaments, leaving him on the ground . All the nobles curse Mahui and wish him the same fate.[1] |
