Vasak I Mamikonian
[1] According to the Buzandaran Patmut‘iwnk‘, which may have been composed in c. 470, Vasak was known for playing a disruptive role between Arshak II and the Sasanian monarch Shapur II (r. 309–379), and for orchestrating many Armenian victories over the Sasanian army.[1][2] Vasak was put to death in c. 367 by Shapur following the capture of Arshak.[1]
