According to The Georgian Chronicles he was a descendant of Kartlos, the eponymous ancestor of the Georgians. His brother, whose name is not specified, was allegedly massacred at the same time as him, while his wife, took refuge in the mountains with her three children, two daughters and a boy, the future King Pharnavaz I.
