Papak or Papag (Middle Persian: 𐭯𐭠𐭯𐭪𐭩, Modern Persian: Babak), was a Persian prince and is considered the ancestor of the Sasanians.
There are various different sources of the relationship between Papak, Sasan, and Ardashir I. According to Al-Tabari, Papak was the son of Sasan and a Bazrangi noblewoman named Rambihisht. However, the Ka'ba-ye Zartosht does not name Sasan as Papak's father but instead names him as the lord. According to Book of Deeds of Ardashir Son of Papak, which is later confirmed by Ferdowsi's Shahnameh says that Sasan married the daughter of Papak after the latter discovered that Sasan was of royal Achaemenid descent. Hence the future Sasanian king Ardashir I was born.
However, the Iranian historian Touraj Daryaee, who uses the Bundahishn as a source, which unlike the other Sasanian sources, was not created by the court, in the words of Daryaee, "to fit the world-view of the late Sasanian world." According to the Bundahishn, Sasan had a daughter, who married Papak, and bore him Ardashir. Furthermore, the Bundahishn states that Sasan was the son of a certain Weh-afrid. Daryaee also states that Sasan was not a native of Pars as thought, but an Iranian foreigner from either the west or east.

This year your boy went all out
Let me sit down and tell you what I'm talkin' about
Now what's somthin' you can imagine
So I don't have to explain
Oh, just picture the North Pole
Relaxin' in my chain and my girl
She's bad, so bad, whoa
Havin' a girl like Boog's gonna become the new fad
When you're walkin' to my house
You're gonna be given a map
'Cuz if you turn the wrong corner
You won't find your way back
But I'm sleepy now
So, I'm gone off the track
Bye, goodnight, holla
