Pakoros I was a Parthian King known as "King of Kings," but he isn't typically identified as Mithradates V. He was the son of Orodes II, a major Parthian ruler who fought Rome, and his name is linked to the Parthian dynasty that included rulers like Mithradates I and Mithradates II.  Pakoros I himself achieved fame for campaigns against Rome, particularly a significant invasion of Syria and Judea in the 1st century BCE.
