شوف عجرفة كسرى في رسالته للامبراطور البيزنطي

Khosrau, greatest of Gods, and master of the earth, to Heraclius, his vile and insensate slave. Why do you still refuse to submit to our rule, and call yourself a king? Have I not destroyed the Greeks? You say that you trust in your God. Why has he not delivered out of my hand Caesarea, Jerusalem, and Alexandria? And shall I not also destroy Constantinople? But I will pardon your faults if you submit to me, and come hither with your wife and children; and I will give you lands, vineyards, and olive groves, and look upon you with a kindly aspect. Do not deceive yourself with vain hope in that Christ, who was not able to save himself from the Jews, who killed him by nailing him to a cross. Even if you take refuge in the depths of the sea, I will stretch out my hand and take you, whether you will or no.

قد يطعن بالقول أن الكنيسه هيمنت على التعليم واحتكرته لذا تم التلفيق لاظهار الانقلاب في المعارك كمعجزه، الا انه يصعب القول بأن الرساله ملفقه بالكامل، وعلى اي حال هذا هو التاريخ الذي نملكه.
