Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox royalty Darayan I (also spelled Darew I, Darev I and Darius I; Aramaic: 𐡃Шаблон:Popdf𐡀𐡓𐡉Шаблон:Popdf𐡅Шаблон:Popdf d’ryw) was the first king of Persis, most likely invested with kingship of the region by his overlord, the Parthian monarch Phraates II (Шаблон:Reign) sometime after 132 BC.Шаблон:Sfn
Although Darayan I's name was usually read as "Darew" by numismatics, an engraving of his name on a silver bowl has led to his name being read as "Darayan" by most recent studies. The name is derived from Old Persian daraya-vahauš, the name of the prominent Achaemenid King of Kings Darius the Great (Шаблон:Reign).Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Efn Darayan I, unlike his predecessors—the fratarakas—used the title of shah ("king"), and laid foundations to a new dynasty, which may be labelled the Darayanids.Шаблон:Sfn The title for "king" he uses on his coinage is malik, whilst the legend on the reverse is d’ryw mlk’ ("Darius the King").Шаблон:Sfn The reason behind his adoption of the title of Darayan was seemingly because he felt strong enough to do so, and in spite of the difficulties that he and his successors faced, they did not renounce the title until the fall of the kingdom.Шаблон:Sfn

The reverse has an inscription in the Aramaic script: 𐡃Шаблон:Popdf𐡀𐡓𐡉Шаблон:Popdf𐡅Шаблон:Popdf 𐡌𐡋Шаблон:Popdf𐡊Шаблон:Popdf d’ryw mlk’ ("Darius the King").Шаблон:Sfn Parthian influence was notable on the coinage of Darayan I and his successors.Шаблон:Sfn Darayan I was succeeded by Wadfradad III.Шаблон:Sfn
