Babak (Sasanian General)
Babak was a 6th-century Sasanian officeholder known for his major role in the reformation of the Sasanian military during Khosrow I's reign. Name His name has been recorded as "Babak, son of ʾlbyrwʾn ( ar, البيروان)" by al-Tabari. This Arabic corruption is reconstructed as ''Bērawān'' by Theodor Nöldeke and ''Behruwān'' () by Ahmad Tafazzoli. Mohammad-Taqi Bahar explains it as "Babak, son of Bīrū ( fa, بیرو)", which could be an alternative form of ''Wīrū'' (), a Persian male given name mentioned in '' Vis o Ramin''. The final ''-ān'' would be the suffix meaning "son of". '' Bābak'' is the Arabic and New Persian form of the Middle Persian ''Pābag''. Career Al-Tabari describes Babak as "a man of noble birth known for his magnanimous qualities and capability". He is mentioned as a secretary, but according to the ''Shahnameh'', Babak was a priest ('' mowbed''). In an effort for reforming the military and establishing a standing army, King Khosrow I put B ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Babak River
The Babak River is a river that flows in the island of Lombok, in West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Course It originates at Mount Timanuk in East Lombok Regency, with a source elevation of 2,575 meters.

The length of the river's main course is around 55 km. Watershed The watershed of the river covers an area of 259 km2.
