Mithrobouzanes of Sophene

Mithrobouzanes was the Orontid king of Sophene in the second half of the 2nd-century BC. His name (Μιθροβουζάνης) is the Greek transliteration of the Iranian name *MiΘra-bauǰ-ana-, meaning "Delighting Mithra." The Armenian equivalent to the name would be Me(h)ruzhan (Մեհրուժան). He was the son and successor of Zariadres.
