"King of Kings of Iranians and non-Iranians"
"Emperor of East and West"

Answer
The response "King of Kings of Iranians and non-Iranians" reflects Shapur I's ambitions as the ruler of the Sassanid Empire. By assuming this grand title, he asserted his dominion not only over his Iranian subjects but also over non-Iranian territories and peoples he had conquered. The use of "non-Iranians" demonstrates the extent of his conquests and his claim to supremacy beyond the borders of Iran.
