Hormizd (Constantinople)

Hormizd (Constantinople)

Hormizd ( _el. Ορμίσδας, pr. "Hormisdas") was a Persian Prince, brother-in-law of King Shapur II. Imprisoned by him, he was freed by his wife and escaped to Constantinople, where Emperor Constantine I helped him giving him a palace near the shore of the Marmara Sea. [Janin, 333] This palace became an important toponym of the city: its neighborhood (where still stands the Mosque of Little Hagia Sophia) was known as "en tois Hormisdou" ("εν τοις Ορμίσδου"), meaning "near the houses of Hormisdas". The Palace became later the private residence of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I before his accession to the throne.
