Nashru is the ruler of Khatra from about 128/129 to the period after 138. Currently, he is known from 34 inscriptions from Khatra.
Nashru was the son of his predecessor Nashrihab and the father of subsequent rulers Khatra Volgash and Sanatruk I. In the inscriptions Nashru wears the title mry ' (lord). Four inscriptions of the era of his reign have dates. One of them shows that in the month of Iyar in the 449th year of the Seleucid era (138), Nashru was building the city wall and gate in the area of the Temple of Khatra. The end of his reign is uncertain, as the next dated inscription from Khatra dates back to 176/177 and it is therefore not clear when his sons seized power.
