Overview

Khusraw al-Arzmaqan, from Jukhi, a village on the river Wan. He claimed that the Light had been alive and always was, and that it had been sleeping; darkness overtook it and took some of its light, so he sent the son of the living to retrieve it. 2

His doctrine

He would revile Jesus, and he concealed his doctrine and did not publicise it. According to what Ibn al-Nadim relays, he had no book. 2
