Contraddictions

It is said that in 325 Imru' al-Qais asked for hellp to Constantius II against Shapur II, but in 325 Constantius was not a ruler. His father Constantine I was instead.--Μαριονέτα Καλτσών 00:52, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Contradiction in the dates in the list of kings

Nevertheless, in 602, the last Lakhmid king, Nu'man III, was put to death...

while

Nu'man III ibn al-Mundhir "abu Qaboos"(582-613)

Besides, it should be explained why the list includes two more kings after the death of the one the text describes as the last one.--RR' (talk) 19:37, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

this article is short and the list has minor mistakes, while the Arabic version is full and translation from there is needed, i will translate what is there--Zocmous (talk) 22:25, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Arslan

"Arslan" is a Turkish word meaning "Lion."

What is the relationship between Arslan family and Turks?--176.219.143.161 (talk) 18:54, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Nowadays

"were a group of Arabs and nowadays, Muslims"

I see a conflict between "were" and "nowadays". YOMAL SIDOROFF-BIARMSKII (talk) 09:31, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Removal of WP:Iran

@Iskandar323: Hi there, just wondering, why did you remove WP:IRAN?[1] Per the lede "They were generally but intermittently the allies and clients of the Sasanian Empire, and participant in the Roman–Persian Wars". Sounds like they were quite related to the history of Iran, in particular the Sasanian period. - LouisAragon (talk) 19:28, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

Additional source:

• "We have seen that there were close political and commercial ties that linked the Sasanians with the Lakhmid principality, configuring a long-term relationship that began probably in the late third century and gradually gained momentum until the sixth century, when it was institutionalized, converting the Lakhmids into a fundamental part of Sasanian politics towards Byzantium and the Arabs of the Peninsula. One important element was the systematic formation of a mixed “minority in the middle,” (Zenner; cf. also Barth, Fludernik/Gehrke) composed by Iranized-Arab noblemen, mostly Christians, who held offices in the Sasanian administration. The evidence of the pre-Islamic Arab poetry, archeological material and Persian loanwords in Arabic, all suggest that this contact resulted in a voluntary cultural orientation of the Hiran elites towards the court culture of Ctesiphon, by assimilating Persian luxury items, aristocratic values and power semiotics." -- Isabel Toral-Niehoff (2013).

@LouisAragon: I guess I was thinking more geographically than politically. I can see that case for the latter. No worries. Reverted. Iskandar323 (talk) 19:51, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

@Iskandar323: Thanks, yeah I know you meant well ;-) - LouisAragon (talk) 21:53, 16 August 2022 (UTC)

The Lakhmid kingdom was an Arab kingdom in southern Iraq and eastern Arabia from the late 3rd century to 602. The Lakhmids were generally but intermittently the allies and clients of the Sasanian Empire, and participant in the Roman–Persian Wars. This Persian-language manuscript, dating from the 15th century and illustrated by Kamāl ud-Dīn Behzād, depicts the construction of al-Khornaq Castle in the Lakhmid capital al-Hirah. The manuscript is in the collection of the British Museum in London.

Christianity

The article discusses debate about the religious affiliation of the early Lakhmid ruler Imru al-Qays ibn Amr. However, it fails to mention that many of the later Lakhmid rulers were indisputably Christian. Daask (talk) 21:49, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

One state?

Was it a unified state, in the form of a hierarchcal kingdom with a single, recognised ki g, or more of a tribal alliance? Arminden (talk) 10:58, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
