Persian Literature, Volume 1 MIRTS-TZ, AND HIS SON ZOHK / KAVAH, THE BLACKSMITH / FERIDN / FERIDN AND HIS THREE SONS; lines 1868-1964 confidence: high
Feridn divides the empire: Slim receives Rm and Khwer, Tr receives Trn, and Irij receives Irn or Persia; Persia is described as beautiful and fresh, while Trn is less cultivated and turbulent.
Slim and Tr resent Irij's more desirable kingdom, ally together, and threaten to seize or ruin his portion.
