amongst the Arabians, carries the same idea as Barbarian with

however, has a more particular reference to the Persians, and
signifies the natives in general of all those countries compre
hended under the Persian empire, Rings of Per
sia. MIrkhond and KhondemTr, in their histories, describe
them as the most ancient monarchs in the world, their empire
being supposed to be founded by Kaymuras, near 900 years be
fore the Christian era. They are divided into four great dynas
ties or families, called the Peshdadians (legislators), Kayanians
(great kings), Ashkanians (from Ashak or Arshak the founder
of this race, better known in Europe by the name of Arsacides),
and the Sasanians, from Sasan the father of ArdshTr Babgan, the
first king of that family, (whose posterity reigned from the be
ginning of the third, to the middle of the seventh century, when
they became extinct by the death of Yazdagird, dethroned by
the Arabians, under the khilafat of Omar, who then annexed
Persia to the great empire of the Muslims). Under those dy
nasties are comprehended all the princes known formerly to the
G reeks by the appellations of the Assyrian, Chaldean, Babylo
nian, Median, and Persian kings; whilst it may be observed that
the Greeks, as well as the Jews, have frequently mistaken the
viceroys, governors, or lieutenants of those ancient monarchs of
Persia for the kings themselves; their residence in the provinces
nearest to Palestine and Europe having made them better known
in the west than their sovereigns. Nebuchadnezzar, Baltazar,
Cyrus, and Sennacherib, among others, were only governors of
Babylonia and the adjacent districts, under Lohorasp and other
princes of the Kayanian dynasty.
A a^jamiy, A barbarian, an unpolished man, one not
