Dhu Nuwas now writes a letter to …
Years: 524 - 524
Dhu Nuwas now writes a letter to the Lakhmid king Al-Mundhir III ibn al-Nu'man of al-Hirah and King Kavadh I of Persia, informing them of his deed and encouraging them to do likewise to the Christians under their dominion.
Al-Mundhir, who receives this letter as he is receiving an embassy from Constantinople seeking to forge a peace between the Roman Empire and al-Hira, reveals the contents of the letter to the Roman ambassadors, who are horrified at its contents.
Word of the slaughter quickly spreads throughout the Roman and Persian realms, and refugees from Najran even reach the court of the Roman emperor Justin I himself, begging him to avenge the martyred Christians.
