among that is what is mentioned about bahram jur that when he became king after his father yazdgerd he heard that a region of his outskirts had been taken and overcome by the enemy. he took it lightly and showed contempt for it until the enemys power grew and his strength increased. so whenever he was informed of his situation he took it lightly and belittled him. it was even said that he has marched towards you and directed his armies to the bottom of your house. so he said leave him for his matter is nothing.
فمن ذلك ما يذكر عن بهرام جور أنه لما ملك بعد أبيه يزدجرد، بلغه أن ناحية من نواحي أطرافه قد أخذت، وغلب عليها العدو. فاستخف بها وأظهر الاستهانة به، حتى قوي أمر ذلك العدو واشتدت شوكته. فكان إذا أخبر بحاله، استخف بأمره، وصغر من شأنه. حتى قيل إنه قد زحف إليك، ووجه جيوشه إلى قرار دارك. فقال دعوه فليس أمره بشيء.
