Ādurfarrōbay ī Farroxzādān was a 9th-century
Ādurfarrōbay is also known to have written the Dēnkard, an Encyclopedia about Zoroastrian beliefs and customs. He also compiled an Ēvēn-nāmag 'Book of Customs' on the tenets of the Zoroastrian religion. The fourth Book of Dēnkard is regarded as a condensed version of this work.
Ādurfarrōbay was later succeeded by his son Zardušt. He also had another son named Juvānjam, who, like his father, would later have a distinguished career. Another Zoroastrian high-priest named Ādurbād ī Emēdān would later edit the Dēnkard, putting much more information about Zoroastrian beliefs and customs. Ādurfarrōbay was also the ancestor of the prominent Zoroastrian Manušcihr ī Juvānjam, who wrote the Dādestān ī Dēnīg.
