SANGBAST— Lat. 36° O' 0", Long. 59° 49' 0"; Elev. ' [St. John).
A village in Khurasan, 23 miles south-east of Mashhad, on the road to
Herat. There was formerly a city here, which had become ruined ; and for
this reason, and because it was an object to encourage people to settle here,
the governor of Khurasan in I860 laid out the present village. The walls
are built of burnt-brick taken from the old village, and are about 20
feet high. The village is square, with a ditch all round, and gates at the
north and south sides. Down the centre, from north to south, is a fine,
broad street, with houses built on a uniform plan all the way. In the
middle of the road is an aqueduct; and halfway between the gates is an
open, octagonal space, with a basin for water in the middle. At intervals
struts lead off at right angles right up to the walls, all round which there
is a roadway. Altogether there is accommodation for about 500 families.
But the governor’s attempt did not thrive; and in 1875 there were not more
than 100 houses occupied. Sangbast is plentifully supplied with water
from karezes; and the present supply could be very much increased, as
only twenty out of the eighty c jui’* of water arranged for by the gov
ernor are now in order.— [MacGregor.)
