This Edict refers to a proclamation by Chosroes I (Anōšagruvān), according to which it is forbidden for any one, being son of a merchant or an artisan, to train for the dīvān and or the office of secretary in any part of Ērānšahr –while peasants could become scribes. Stories have been told of this forbidding. Fortunately, the Codex TD 26 has preserved the edict.
