Dárá continued the government of the empire in the same spirit as his
father; claiming custom and tribute from the inferior rulers, with
similar strictness and decision. After the death of Failakús, Sikander
became the king of Rúm; and refusing to pay the demanded tribute to
Persia, went to war with Dárá, whom he killed in battle; the particulars
of these events will be presently shown. Failakús reigned twenty-four
years.
