الضيزن بن معاوية ملك تنوخ، ويقال له الضيزن بن جبهلة، وجبهلة أمه. تملّك ديار الحضر بعد ملوك السريانيين. 2

سقوط الحضر

يصفه المسعودي بأنه كثير الجنود، مهادناً للروم متحيزاً إليهم، وأن رجاله كانوا يغيرون على العراق والسواد. فتحصن بالحضر حين نزل عليه سابور بالجنود، فدلّت ابنته النضيرة على فتحه. قتله سابور ومن معه وهدم الحصن. 2
