Meherdates ( Parthian: 𐭌𐭄𐭓𐭃𐭕 Mihrdāt) was a Parthian prince who competed against Gotarzes II ( r. 40–51) for the Parthian crown from 49 to 51 AD. [1] A son of Vonones I ( r. 8–12), he was ultimately defeated and captured by Gotarzes II, who spared him, but had his ears mutilated, an act that disqualified him from inheriting the throne.
