The Parthian name is probably an accidental lookalike of Vologaesus, unrelated to it. I'll check it later.

*****GK: In Cassius Dio's text, Vologeses the Bessian
from Thrace is mentioned among a number of other
protagonists, who for their part bear clearly Thracian
names. What is interesting is that this name VOLOGESES
was also borne by no less than SIX Parthian monarchs.
The Bessian Vologeses was a "priest" of the Thracian
Dionysus.******
