Abstract
Some scheme of political organization can also be detected in the text ofVīs u Rāmīn.The capital Marv is definitely considered the centre of a world monarchy, within the limits which we have tried to elucidate.1Mōbad is the king of kings,shahriyār, to whom all the shahs owe obedience (banda būdand) (p. 28). His personal dominions he in North-Eastern Iran and are surrounded by a belt of vassal territories (abaristān, Gurgān, Dihistān, Khwārazm, etc.), but politically his authority extends to Media and beyond it to Transcaucasia (Arrān) and Armenia, reaching even the Mediterranean and North African territories.
