Sanabares II (160-175 CE) was an Indo-Parthian ruler of Sakastan. Sanabares II ruled the newly established Kingdom of Sakastan, following the partition of the remains of the Indo-Parthian kingdom into the realms of Sakastan and Turan. The kingdom of Sakastan covers the period from 160 to 230 CE.{{cite book |last1=Mitchiner |first1=Michael |title=Indo-Greek and Indo-Scythian Coinage |date=1975 |publisher=Hawkins Publications |isbn=978-0-904173-12-3 |page=779 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=a4EaAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA779 |language=en}} The kingdom of Turan was ruled by another king named Pahares I (160-230 CE).
Sanabares I succeeded in Sakastan the last of the major Indo-Parthian kings, Sanabares, in 160 CE.{{cite book |last1=Mitchiner |first1=Michael |title=The Ancient & Classical World, 600 B.C.-A.D. 650 |date=1978 |publisher=Hawkins Publications |isbn=978-0-904173-16-1 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zuQLAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA348 |language=en|quote="Pakores was succeeded in the office of Great King by Sanabares (c. AD 135-160). The much reduced Indo-Parthian realm then split into its two geographical constituents. These now became the Kingdom of Turan whose king was named Pahares and the Kingdom of Sakastan ruled by a second king bearing the name Sanabares (c. AD 160-175). These two kingdoms, Turan and Sakastan, were to persist until the first Sasanian Emperor, Ardeshir I, about AD 230. Both then became vassal kingdoms within the Sasanian Empire. Tabari recorded the submission made by the King of Turan which transpired when Ardeshir was at Gor: then envoys of the king of the Kushan, of the kings of Turan and Mokran came to him with declarations of their submission."}}
The Kingdoms of Turan and Sakastan ended when they submitted to the Sasanian ruler Ardeshir I circa 230 CE. These events were recorded by Al-Tabari, describing the arrival of envoys to Ardeshir at Gor:
{{quote|“Then he [Ardashir] marched back from the Sawad to Istakhr, from there east to Sagistan, then to Gurgan, then to Abrasahr, Merv, Balkh, and Khwarizm to the farthest boundaries of the provinces of Kohrasan, whereupon he returned to Merv. After he had killed many
people and sent their heads to the Fire temple of Anahedh he returned from Merv to Pars and settled in Gor. Then envoys of the king of the Kushan, of the kings of Turan and Mokran came to him with declarations of their submission."|Al-Tabari{{cite book |last1=Bracey |first1=Robert |title=The Mint Cities of the Kushan Empire |date=1 January 2012 |publisher=BAR International Series 2402 |page=124 |url=https://www.academia.edu/2078818/The_Mint_Cities_of_the_Kushan_Empire}}}}
