river Dal comes to the village of JU jc X j I Anderbaz, where there
is a bridge that admits boats; from this place to Korkanje is a
distance of one merhileh.
From the river Gaw Khareh to the city is twelve farsang ;
and there is another river below Khuarezm four farsang, which
receives its waters from four different places; when they are
united, they form a stream about as large as that of the river Bouh.
It is said that the Jihoon crosses this river; and that, when the
waters of the Jihoon sink, the stream is also diminished. There
are many streams on the northern side of the Jihoon, at one far
sang from the town called Medeminiah ; and all the
villages along have small streams. The Jihoon falls into the lake
at a place called Khiljan, where there is not any village,
nor any buildings ; the people live by fishing. On the banks ot
this lake is the land of jt Ghuz ; from this, when they are at
peace, they go from this side to the village of j /SlJY Aubgir,
and from the other to Korkange; both of these are on the banks
of the Jihoon.
Before one comes to the the river Gaw Khareh there are some
mountains, amidst which the Jihoon runs : this place is called
Boukeseh; and from the place where the Jihoon falls into
the lake or sea to that place where the river of Chaje falls
into it, is a journey of ten days. The river Jihoon is frozen in win-
