After Artog his son Barton [Pharnabazus II/Bartom, 63-30 B.C.] ruled. Now P'arnajom's son, who had been nourished in Iran, took [Iranian] auxiliaries and came against Bartom. He sent a message to the Iberian princes to stand away from Bartom. But they did not heed him. Instead they fought for a month under Mruan [Mirvan II] near Xunan. But they were defeated and Bartom died in battle. He had no son, only one daughter whom he had married to a descendant of K'ujis so that there would be an heir for his kingdom. And he did this to please the Iberians who did not want the reign of a foreign people but only of the Pharnabazids.
Now his wife, Bartom's daughter, being pregnant, went to Armenia and bore a son, naming him Adrik.

Parnavaz II«/b» («u»Georgian «/u»:) (died in 30 BC), of the «u»Artaxiad Dynasty «/u», was a king of «u»Iberia «/u» («u»Kartli «/u», eastern «u»Georgia «/u») from 63 to 30 BC. He is known as Pharnabazus in «u»Classical «/u» sources, and is commonly identified with the «b»Bartom«/b» or «b»Bratman«/b» of the medieval Georgian chronicles.
He succeeded upon the death of his father «u»Artag «/u» who had been defeated by the «u»Roman «/u» general «u»Pompey «/u» in 65 BC. However, Roman hegemony over Iberia proved to be impermanent, and, in 36 BC, the «u»legate «/u» «u»Publius Canidius Crassus «/u» led his army into Iberia, forcing Parnavaz to make an alliance against Zober, king of neighboring «u»Albania «/u». Canidius and Parnavaz marched to Albania and subdued its people. Incidentally, no Georgian source documents these events reported by «u»Cassius Dio «/u» in his «i»Roman History«u»«/i»[1]«/u» Instead, the Georgian annals concentrates upon the homecoming of «u»Mirvan «/u», the exiled son of «u»Parnajom «/u», who had been brought up in «u»Iran «/u». Mirvan returned to Kartli at the head of an Iranian army, killed Bartom and became a king. Bartom is said to have adopted Kartam, the grandson of Kuji (the alleged ruler of «u»Egrisi «/u» in the time of the first Iberian king «u»Parnavaz «/u»). But Kartam had also been killed in battle against Mirvan. Nevertheless, Kartam's pregnant wife \endash the daughter of Bartom \endash fled to «u»Armenia «/u» where she gave birth to a son named Aderki.«u»[2]
