He com- mitted the administration of government into the hands of Zal, whose son Eustam, was appointed to lead the Persians against the dreaded Afrasiab who had again passed the Oxus and invaded Persia. In this battle, Eus- tam overcame Afrasiab, and afterwards a peace was concluded, by which it was agreed that the Oxus should remain as it had been heretofore, the boundary between the two kingdoms.
