Cenmar

Senemar or Sanamar was a legendary Byzantine architect who is said to have built the Khawarnaq Palace on the request of the Lakhmid king, Al-Nu'man I, in the fifth century. His story has inspired the Persian and Arabic proverb, "Senemar’s compensation" or "Senemar’s Reward", expressing a situation where one does good work but is instead punished or given an unfair or too small reward.
