Claim: Dachi of Iberia took a more conciliatory line with his Iranian suzerains and also spent special missionary efforts to further Christianize his mountainous subjects.
Evidence: He succeeded his father, who had launched an abortive rebellion against the Sassanid hegemony, and took a more conciliatory line with his Iranian suzerains. From his base at Ujarma in Kakheti, which had constituted the royal demesne from the days of the early Chosroids, he spent special missionary efforts to further Christianize his mountainous subjects.
