REIGN OF BALLÂSH BIN BALLÂSH.

He reigned twenty-four years, and built Târum. In the Târikh Guzidah it is stated that he was the brother of Khosrû Bin Ballâsh, and that one night an angel said to him: ‘Thy death is in thine own hand.’ These words caused him great sorrow, and when he one day entered a tent, and was leaning against a pole, it collapsed, and the top-ornament falling on his head, killed him on the spot. Shamsûn the hermit is said to have lived during his time.
