Of Sapor III., his brother and successor, two facts only are recorded--his conclusion of the treaty with the Romans in A.D.384, and his war with the Arabs of the tribe of Yad, which must have followed shortly afterwards.

It must have been in consequence of his contest with the latter, whom he attacked in their own country, that he received from his countrymen the appellation of "the Warlike," an appellation better deserved by either of the other monarchs who had borne the same name.
Sapor III.

left behind him a sculptured memorial, which is still to be seen in the vicinity of Kermanshah.

[PLATE XX.] It consists of two very similar figures, looking towards each other, and standing in an arched frame.

On either side of the figures are inscriptions in the Old Pehlevi character, whereby we are enabled to identify the individuals represented with the second and the third Sapor.
