@Mugsalot: I added "not in source" after the Arabic version of the name, because the name is not an Arabic word at all, and was probably invented by User:Kingesh, it looks to be just a modern rendering of the Parthian name Arbāyistān in Arabic script. Moreover, there is no recorded text from Arabs of Persian Mesopotamia; the common language (at least the one used for writing) in the region was Classical Syriac back then. "Zoroastrian Middle Persian" is a well-stablished name[1] used to refer to the late form of the Middle Persian language used to write Zoroastrian religious texts after Islam. --Z12:56, 10 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
Hi, I looked through the page history and it was added without source by a non-registered user, so I'm not opposed to removing the Arabic version.
