	Empereurs romains - Les Trente tyrans : Cyriades
		Cyriadès (que certains auteurs appellent Mariadès) était, paraît-il, citoyen d'Antioche.
		L'Histoire Auguste affirme également que Cyriadès "rejoignit le roi Sapor avec lequel il fit alliance et, l'ayant poussé à déclencher une guerre contre les Romains, il emmena successivement Odomaste, puis Sapor, dans les territoires romains".
		Si je résume les faits : Cyriadès, originaire d'Antioche, ville fortement christianisée et dont le principal dignitaire chrétien avait rallié la cause perse, serait, à son tour, passé dans le camp ennemi.

		At this juncture Valerian assumed the command of the legions in person, and for a time his measures were both vigorous and successful.
		Antioch was recovered, the usurper Cyriades [cyriades] was slain, and Sapor was compelled to fall back behind the Euphrates ; but the emperor, flushed by his good fortune, while his faculties were perhaps impaired by age, followed too rashly.
		He found himself, like a second Crassus, surrounded, in the vicinity of Edessa, by the countless horsemen of his active^foe ; he was" entrapped into a conference, taken prisoner, and passed the remainder of his life in captivity subjected to every insult which Oriental cruelty ;ould devise.

	Roman Emperors - DIR Mariades
		"This man, rich and well born, fled from his father Cyriades when, by his excesses and profligate ways, he had become a burden to the righteous old man, and after robbing him of a great part of his gold and an enormous amount of silver he departed to the Persians.
		The problematic nature of the Historia Augusta as a historical source, especially given the absence of numismatic and epigraphic evidence along with what the other Greek and Latin sources do not say, casts reasonable doubt on whether Mareades ever was actually a Caesar or an Augustus.
		In either case, he judged the name Cyriades significant because, just as the names Macrianus and Carus, it contained a "cr" sound shared by the Hebrew word for horn (qrn) in the text of Daniel 7:8.

	Iranica.com - HORMOZD I
		The Scriptores Historiae Augustae (Tyranni Triginta, II) reports that a certain Cyriades led first Odomastes and then Sapores (ˆa@pur) into Roman territory and assisted in the capture of Antioch.
		6), it has been suggested that Hormozd, led by Cyriades, conquered Seleucia in order to cut off the escape route from Antioch to the sea before joining forces with ˆa@pur at Antioch (Baldus, pp.
		The date of the first capture of Antioch is contested, varying between 253 and 256 (Frye, 1951, pp.

		Cyriades, an obscure fugitive of Antioch, stained with every vice, was chosen to dishonour the Roman purple; and the will of the Persian victor could not fail of being ratified by the acclamations, however reluctant, of the captive army.
		Nor can the number of thirty be completed unless we include in the account the women and children who were honoured with the Imperial title.
		The reign of Gallienus, distracted as it was, produced only nineteen pretenders to the throne: Cyriades, Macrianus, Balista, Odenathus, and Zenobia in the East; in Gaul and the western provinces, Posthumus, Lollianus, Victorinus and his mother Victoria, Marius, and Tetricus.

		XIII, and a similar abundance of information concerning Mareades, though the version of Mareades' story in the SHA is different from that of Domninus, and the facts reported are in a large proportion inventions or legend.
		It is evident that the source of Cyriades' biography in SHA was of the same kind as the sources used by Domninus, that is to say a historical work compiled in Syria probably by a native or resident of that country.
		The author of Cyriades' biography is to my mind speaking of the role of Mareades in the first invasion of Syria and Cappadocia by Shapuhr.

	Valerian
		But Persian claims to have captured as many as 37 cities are most likely true.
		Sapor's forces overran Armenia and Cappadocia and in Syria even captured the capital Antioch, where the Persians set up a Roman puppet emperor (called either Mareades or Cyriades).
		However, as the Persians invariably withdrew, this would-be emperor was left without any support, was captured and burnt alive.

		But another rival started up in the East.
		Sapor conceived the idea of complicating the Roman affairs by himself putting forward a pretender; and an obscure citizen of Antioch, a certain Miriades or Cyriades, a refugee in his camp, was invested with the purple, and assumed the title of Caesar.
		XIII.] [Illustration: PLATE 13.] The blow struck at Edessa laid the whole of Roman Asia open to attack, and the Persian monarch was not slow to seize the occasion.
