ancient qandt.
The plain of Qir is about 25 miles long and lies nearly east and west.
It is said to contain thirty villages. Most of it is watered from the Kara
Aghach. It usually has a pleasant appearance, owing to the turf with which
it is clothed and its numerous palm groves. When the water is in sufficient
quantity, it is very fertile and the corn stands over 5 feet high. Besides
this the plain produces barley, rice, tobacco, sasame seed, opium, and ex
cellent dates and fruits. Near the village of Qir it juts out into the lake
in the form of a promontory.
In the summer the Qir plain is intensely warm, and is then forsaken by
the tribes, though its other inhabitants remain in the village, suffering,
however, greatly from the swarms of flies which infest the country, and
from sore eyes.
Above the village Qir stands an earthen fort, which in the reign of Mir
Muhammad Shah was held by 200 men against the
