ABSTRACT
Whatever thou hast said regarding the former condition of the Arabs, is true. Their food was green lizards; they buried their infant daughters alive; nay, some of them feasted on dead carcasses, and drank blood…. Such was our state. But God, in his mercy, has sent us, by a holy prophet, a sacred volume, which teaches us the true faith.—The Arab Ambassadors’ Address to Yezdigird III.
