Inaccurate Date?[edit]
The article states that the Sassanids conquered Kushano-Hephthalite lands in Kapisa in 644 AD. However at that time the Sassanids' army had been destroyed by the Arabs 3 years previously (641), and they were indeed being overrun by the Arabs. It doesn't seem plausible that, while the heartland and capital of the Sassanids were being conquered by the Arabs, the Persians somehow mustered enough strength to conquer an enemy whom had survived attacks from the Persians at their height, just 50 years before. If the Persians did manage to conquer Kapisa, it would have had to be earlier than 644. Thomas Lessman (talk) 22:29, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
