Tus Strikes Down Arzhang
From B13.7, Tus Slays Arzhang. It illustrates B13.7.7–10:
- B13.7.7The son of Zereh spoke; Tus heard him through,Iran’s sepahbod knew what he would do.
- B13.7.8No need for speech; no further words were made;His answer was the tempered, shining blade.
- B13.7.9He struck his helm and head with such a force,It seemed no head had crowned him on his horse.
- B13.7.10Then horn and koust from Iran’s army rang:“May Tus be victorious!” rose the clang.
