p < Afrastydb, (Conqueror of Persia), the name of an
ancient king, much celebrated in Persian poetry, the sovereign
of Turan, and a Scythian or Turk by birth. He invaded Per
sia, killed king Nuzarwith his own hand, and reigned there near
twelve years, about seven centuries before the Christian era;
but was afterwards driven beyond the Oxus by a famous chief,
called Zalzar, (or Golden-hair). Afrasiyab, however, again
over-ran Persia, but was at last defeated, and slain in AzarbTjan
(Media) by Zalzar, and his son the celebrated Rustam, com
monly called the Persian Hercules. Afrasiyab, however, ap
pears to have been rather a family surname, like the Pharoahs,
the Ptolemies, or the Caesars, than the name of one particular
