170 P'arpec'i obviously felt that Ashusha
would marry his daughters to his young wards and try to control
the Mamikonean family's holdings in that way. Ghazar calls the
request outrageous, unheard of, and unbelievable (III.59, p. 227).
He has the grateful Ashusha roll around on the floor before Yazdgard
like a clown and explain that, since he was receiving an honor
unknown to any of the king's other servants, he had to honor the
king with a new type of prostration (III.59, pp. 227-28).
171 The Mamikonean boys were good archers,
fast runners, and quick to kill (III.63, p. 237). Of the three
princes, the naxarars feared Vahan was the one who would
ruin them; they were thus jealous, bitter, and slanderous (III.63,
p. 239). Supposedly it was because of the slandering of the jealous
naxarars that Peroz had postponed honoring the young Vahan
(III.63, p. 238). P'arpec'i defends Vahan in Ctesiphon where the
latter was called to answer charges that he was planning a rebellion,
triumphing with Vahan's vindication, and gloating over the humiliation
of Vahan's accusers (III.65, p. 251) .
