Perozes, after somewhat more than two years of exile, was acknowledged as king by the whole Persian people, and, quitting Taleqan, established himself at Ctesiphon, or Al Modain, which had now become the main seat of government.

It is uncertain what became of Hormisdas.

According to the Armenian writers, Raham, after defeating him, caused him to be put to death; but the native historian, Mirkhond, declares that, on the contrary, Perozes forgave him for having disputed the succession, and amiably spared his life.
The civil war between the two brothers, short as it was, had lasted long enough to cost Persia a province.

Vatche, king of Aghouank (Albania) took advantage of the time of disturbance to throw off his allegiance, and succeeded in making himself independent.

It was the first object of Perozes, after establishing himself upon the throne, to recover this valuable territory.
