At daybreak everything, as far as we could see, glittered with shining arms; and cavalry in armour filled the plains and the hills. And Shapur himself, mounted on his charger, and being taller than the rest, led his whole army wearing, instead of a crown, a golden figure of a ram's head inlaid with jewels; being also splendid from the retinue of men of high rank and of different nations which followed him.
