An entire era was based
on the reign of Azes,
but what are we left with?
A few inscriptions,
coins that might come
from two kings;
read a learned scholar
and he says there
were two, a generation
or two apart -
and a second one says
that this is just an invention
to fill in historical gaps.
Thus the mighty
are reduced to metal
and educated guesses.
