Those present were Muhammad bin Abdal Maliq al Zayyad and there were Mazyar, the ruler of Tabaristan, the Mobed, and the Marzban son of Urkesh, one of the chieftains of Sughd, and two people from among the Sughdians. Then Muhammad Ibn Abdal Maliq called the two people whose clothes were torn and asked them how they were. They then uncovered their backs which were torn of the flesh.

History as a science was rarely known even to the gifted Hindus. The Arabs cultivated it with peculiar enthusiasm.
Then turned up Mazyar the chief of Tabaristan and Afshin was asked whether he knew him. He said "No." Mazyar was asked if he knew Afshin. Then they told him that this was Mazyar. "Yes, I know him now." "Did you ever have correspondence with him? No." Then turning to the Marzban they asked, "Did he ever write to you?"
