On the 6th we halted at Khone-Zenioun, where there is a caravan
serai. These buildings are frequently erected by private persons, at
their own expense, in the hope that so good an act on earth will meet

in question was not many years
ago built by a relation of Mirza Abul Hassan Khan. Mirza AH Reza,
brother to that relation, an eunuch in the King's household, having
heard of its present decay, anxious to partake of his brother's repu
tation for sanctity, sent a sum of money to the Thaubet of Khone
Zenioun, to clean and repair it. The Thaubet, instead of so doing, put
the money into his pocket, and left the building to its fate, which in
consequence became the resort of all the cattle that grazed in the ad

bet on the day we sojourned there, beat him on the soles of his feet,
made him refund the money, and took measures for insuring the pro
jected repairs.
Caravanserais, built and endowed by private persons, consecrated as
it were to hospitality, the refuge of the stranger and the wanderer, are
held sacred in the East; and we may suppose that it was a similar
feeling which gave security to those who kept the public-houses at
Tarsus, when Cyrus passed through it, for they remained quiet at their
posts, when the city was abandoned by its other inhabitants.*
