The Georgian Chronicle identifies Constantina as a daughter of Khosrau II.[1] However the Chronicle was compiled in the 13th century[2] and so the contradictory parentage is considered a mistake. Other later accounts make Constantina his mother-in-law through her – most likely fictional – daughter Miriam/Maria.
