Part 13: The Time of Interregnum

Once again turmoil and war broke out, in Iran, stirred up at once by the Assyrians. In Assyria there ruled a king, descended from Belus, the god of Babylon. They called him by the name Nebuchadnezzar; he had won everything he desired from the world. They killed Nodar, the king of the Medes, and seized the realm of Dghubaj for themselves. They also killed Teliman Kura, who was honored and beloved in the city of Susa.
Explanation: Belus (Belzis) is the Babylonian deity Bel; Susa was an ancient Elamite and Persian capital.

بخش ۱۳ - زمان فترت مدی

دگرباره برخاست آشوب و جنگ در ایران زآتوریان بی درنگ
در آتوریا پادشاهی بد به جای زاولاد بلزیس بابل خدای
که خوانند بخت النصر نامشان زگیتی برآورده بد کامشان
بکشتند نوذر شه ماژ را گرفتند زملک دغوباژ را
تلیمان کورا بکشتند نیز که او بود در شهر سوزا عزیز
