Bustanai (d. 660/5) was the first Exilarch to be recognized by Arab rule. His birth and much of his life is surrounded by legend. As a token of appreciation, Caliph Ali gave him the daughter of the Persian king Yazdeger (Yazadagird III of Parthia ) for a slave. Eventually Bustanai married her.
His first wife, Adoa, a Davidic Jewish princess (relative), had two sons: Hisdai I & Baradai;
His 2nd wife, Dara or Azdadwar Izdundad or Izdadwar <hp.shtmll> daughter of Zamaspdukht <emesa.shtmll> and King Shahrijar III of Persia <persia.shtmll>. The Parthi princess, had three sons: (a) Hisdai II <http://www.pohly.com/tree/d0013/g0000066.shtmll> , (b) Nehemiah <http://genpc.com/gen/files/d0050/f0000016.shtmll>, and (c) Haninai [Hananiah], who was "exilarch" of Sura 689-694. See <http://www.gendex.com/users/wilkinso/wilkinsons/d0140/f0000072.shtmll>, <http://www.afn.org/~lawson/d0005/g0000011. html>, <http://rksmith.net/d0000/g0000043.shtmll>, <http://www.pohly.com/tree/d0000/g0000062.shtmll>, <http://www.gencircles.com/users/family_ties/1/data/11980.shtmll> family trees descending from Haninai. The descendants of Haninai appear to occupy th e gaonate of Sura for several generations and may also be ancestors of the Maharal of Prague <maharal.shtmll>. (However, according to Rinnah Burns dburns60 at neo.rr.com <mailto:dburns60 at neo.rr.com>, their three sons were Shahrijar, Durdanshah , and Mardanshah. Source: Arthur J.
