Part 16•Shahnameh•The book of kings He made for the River Arvand (if you do not know Pahlavi, this river is called “Dejleh” in Arabic, or the Tigris) and pitched camp on its banks, close to the city of Baghdad, and sent word to the ferryman there that he needed boats to transport his army across the river.

3: Then Jamshid’s two sisters stained their cheeks with tears and said, “May the old world be renewed by your good fortune! Tell us what star guides you, and what tree you are sprung from, that you have dared to attack the lion’s sleeping quarters so bravely. How wretchedly we’ve passed our days, mistreated by that fool of a magician; what sufferings we have endured at that monster’s hands! We have never seen anyone strong enough or valiant enough to seek his throne.” Feraydun answered, “Neither the throne nor good fortune will remain with one man forever. I am the son of the illustrious Abetin, whom Zahhak seized and murdered in Iran, and I seek Zahhak’s throne in revenge. The marvelous Barmayeh cow was my wet nurse, and that innocent animal’s blood too will be avenged by me. I have come from Persia bringing war, and I shall give the evil Zabhak no rest or peace until I have crushed his head beneath my ox-headed mace.”
