How it ended, as its article says

Conquered by Sasanians in 226 and turned, 226. Read from the article's section “lead” by its grammar; the claim is only that the article says so.

It was conquered by the Sasanians in 226, and turned into a province governed by a marzban ("margrave").

What happened within it, by century

Every row the atlas hosts under this state, by the century it began in: wars and battles in red, risings, regime changes and massacres beside them, everything else in grey. A tall bar is a century the record is full for, which is partly a fact about Wikipedia.
