Etymology

Akin to Parthian 𐭐‎𐭕𐭉𐭊𐭅𐭎‎𐭐𐭍 (p‎tykws‎pn /⁠pāδgōspān⁠/) in the ŠKZ inscription. The Middle Persian counterpart is damaged in the inscription, but has been reconstructed as *𐭯𐭠𐭲𐭪𐭥𐭮𐭯‎𐭠𐭭 (pʾtkwsp‎ʾn /⁠pāygōsbān⁠/), from [Book Pahlavi needed] (pʾtkws /⁠pāygōs⁠/, “district, province”) +‎ [Book Pahlavi needed] (-pʾn' /⁠-bān⁠/, “-keeper, -guard”). Old Armenian պատգոսապան (patgosapan), պատգոս (patgos) and Arabic فَاذُوسْبَان (fāḏūsbān) are borrowed from Iranian.
