According to an inscription, he is said to have been the father of a Ma'nu , so he was probably the predecessor of the ruler of the same name. An inscription of it comes from the North Iwan in Bait Alaha system mentioned, which in turn was built at the beginning of the second century. The inscription supports a dating of Worod around 110 AD.
