Шаблон:Italic title The History of KarkaШаблон:Efn is a sixth-century text which describes the persecution and killings of Christians in Kirkuk (formerly known as Karka de Beth Selok) in the year 446.[1] This outbreak of violence occurred in the Sasanian Empire under Yazdegerd II.[1]

Before discussing the martyrdoms of 446, it gives a short account of the history of the region.[2] The History extends back as far as ancient Assyrian figures such as Sargon II and mythological characters such as Nimrod, Ninus, and Belos.[3] It presents a confused account of the history's origins, mixing history and mythology.[4]

The persecution which makes up the core of the History of Karka[5] came as a part of Yezdgard II's efforts to ensure obedience among his aristocrats, and his demands included participation in religious observances that Christians were forbidden to participate in.[6] As a result, the persecution fell on aristocratic Christians, rather than specifically upon clergy or members of the general population.[6] The aim was not so much to destroy Christianity as it was to enforce loyalty among the nobility.[6]
