Historical background
"Phartisch" stands for Parthian. The Parthian horse archers were famous for the "Parthian shot", the arrow they loosed backwards while seemingly retreating. At Carrhae in 53 BC camel trains kept them supplied with arrows, so that the Romans waited in vain for the shooting to end.
