Alar was a native of Iran, cele- brated for his extensive knowledge, who lived in reputation and dignity about the end of Zohak's reign, under whose command he distinguished him- self in the erection of forts and other architectural works. His belief was, that God is the same as water, from the ebullition of which proceeded fire ; from the fire came forth the heavens and the stars (as before stated) ; from the humidity of water... proceeded the air, and from its frigidity, the earth. To this sect belonged Andarimdn, who was well skilled in the management of the bow, archery, wielding the lance, horsemanship, and other military accomplish- ments; he gave instructions in these sciences to the sons of great men, in which occupation he passed his life.
