Matigan-i Hazar Datistan


The Matigan-i Hazar Datistan was the judicial code of the Magistan, the imperial parliament of the Arsacid Empire and, for a while, of the Sassanid Empire.
The Matigan-i Hazar Datistan was a compilation of the social, moral, civil and criminal laws of the time. Although the name suggests a thousand chapters or laws, it is not known whether the code really had that many, and may simply mean 'a significant number'.
A considerable portion of the code has been lost.
