as for ardashir bin babak and shapur and bahram and yazdegerd and khosrow parviz and khosrow anushirvan forty beds were spread out for the king in forty places and there was not a bed among them that anyone who saw it from afar alone would not doubt that it was the kings bed specifically and that he was sleeping in it. and perhaps he was not on one of them but perhaps he was sleeping on a soft seat and perhaps he put his arm as a pillow and then he fell asleep.
فأما أردشير بن بابك، وسابور، وبهرام، ويزدجرد، وكسرى أبرويز، وكسرى أنوشروان، فكان يفرش للملك منهم أربعون فراشا، في أربعين موضعا، ليس منها فراش إلا ومن رآه من بعيد على الانفراد، لا يشك أنه فراش الملك خاصة، وأنه نائم فيه. ولعله أن لا يكون على واحد منها، بل لعله ينام على مجلس رقيق، وربما توسد ذراعه، فنام.
