[edit] Narseh or Nasr was a Kurd

According to this source:

I. Sevcenko, Review of New Cambridge History of the Byzantine Empire, Slavic Review, p.109-118, 1968. (see page 111)

Narseh was a Kurd. He converted to Christianity and assumed the new name Theophobos.Heja Helweda 22:05, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Poorly written

This article has a NPOV leaning towards the Muslim particulars. Example: "That outstanding general bore the full force of the Byzantine attack." [Emphasis mine] We do not state that someone was "great" or otherwise unless scholars have deemed it part of a person's title. I urge removal. The rest of the article excludes better detailed emphasis on Emperor Theophilos' improvement of the economy and growth of commerce. Jtpaladin (talk) 15:34, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
