See the story which Josephus, Antiq. XX. cc. 2, 3, 4, tells about Izates, king of Adiabene, who wanted to turn Jew and thereby so offended his people that they called in against him Vologeses or Valkash, the first reforming Zoroastrian king and collector of the books of the Zend Avesta. Cf. Darmesteter, The Zend Avesta (Sacred Books of the East), Oxford, 1895, p. xl. Cf. Ém. de Stoop La Diffusion du Manichéisme dans l’Empire romain, Gand, 1909, p. 10.
