comes from Pousheng *. It is computed that Sarkhes is as large
as Meru-al-rud: It is a populous and thriving city: the air is
wholesome : the inhabitants drink well-water, and they employ
horses or asses in their mills.
LwJ Ncsa is a city of the same magnitude as Sarkhes : it is plea
sant and well supplied with water running amidst the houses and
streets, and various orchards, groves, and gardens.
^ j I j Kaein is as large as Sarkhes; all the buildings are of clay;
it has a fort, with ditches, and a mosque, and a governor's house:
the water which they drink there is conveyed in trenches; it has
but a few orchards or gardens, and the air is cold.
Teisin \ is smaller than Kaien : it has some trees, and
the water is conveyed in trenches.
Chun is smaller than Teisin; it has fine gardens, and
very little water: the inhabitants have sheep and other beasts.
aj U / Kuhaheh is larger than Chun, and has two villages be
longing to it: the water which they use is brought in trenches.
Of all these places which we have just mentioned the air is cold;
and an ample desert stretches out between them, where shepherds
reside.
