Note 125 — KING KISRA ANUSHIRWAN[124] AND THE VILLAGE DAMSEL.
Richard Francis Burton translation
“Sultan” is here an anachronism: I have noted that the title was first assumed independently by Mohammed of Ghazni after it had been conferred by the Caliph upon his father the Amír Al-Umará (Mayor of the Palace), Sabuktagin A.D. 974.
