Abstract

  The forthcoming article concerns a discussion about a phrase from the  Persian book of Tārīkh-e Sistān, in which the author has examined the phrase “Gush-e Asp-e Keykhosrow”, "The ear of Keykhosrow's horse". In his opinion, it is likely that the "Gush" (ear) of Keykhosrow's horse, which is mentioned in the history of Sistān, was in fact the "Būsh" of Keykhosrow's horse, and "Būsh" is a reading of "Bush" meaning the mane of a horse.
