From C3.9, Houman Challenges Rohham. It illustrates C3.9.11–19:

C3.9.11
Houman sought Gudarz, Keshvad’s son, that day;The army’s watchmen met him on his way.
C3.9.12
Iran’s suspicious riders gathered nearAnd asked his spokesman to make all things clear:
C3.9.13
“Why does this eager warrior show his faceSo boldly here before our guarded place?
C3.9.14
Where does he speed, as messengers might ride,With gorz in hand and kamand at his side?”
C3.9.15
The interpreter said, “The hour is hereFor sword and heavy gorz; this chief draws near.
C3.9.16
He seeks a champion in the open fight;He is Houman, Viseh’s son, a man of might.
C3.9.17
He leads the sons of Viseh to the field;Before his blade a lion’s heart must yield.”
C3.9.18
They saw his gorz, his stature, and the graceWith which he wore the royal belt in place.
C3.9.19
His noble bearing held their ranks in awe;Their spear-hands paused before the grace they saw.
