Golon was mentioned by Sebeos as a Sasanian commander in Armenia.
In 572, Vardan III Mamikonian revolted against the marzban Chihor-Vishnasp and killed him.
Khosrau I then sent Golon Mihran at the head of an army of twenty thousand men to recapture Armenia, but the latter was defeated in Taron by Vardan Mamikonian, who captured his war elephants as war booty.
He then invaded Southern Armenia at the head of another army of twenty thousand men along with some war elephants with "the order to exterminate the population of Armenia, to destroy, to kill, to raze the land without mercy."
[5] Bahram Chobin, the famous Mihranid spahbed and briefly shahanshah, claimed to be the grandson of Golon Mihran.
