As ruler of the Jafnid confederation on Rome's eastern desert border, al-Mundhir (Alamundaros in the Greek sources) succeeded his father al-Harith and was an important ally in the wars against Persia in the 570s and 580s and received a royal diadem from Tiberius II in 580. He was a miaphysite and repeatedly laboured for the ultimately unsuccessful reconciliation between different factions within the miaphysite movement, as is narrated in Joh. Eph., EH 4.39-43.
