ZIVEH—Sahna.
A village of tbe district of Sahna.
ZOBEIDEH (Plain of)—Kalbor.
See Plain of Zeliri or Zeviri.
ZOHAB—Zokab.
A small village of some 30 bouses situated on tbe mins of an extensive
town. Of this place Sir H. Bawlinson, writing some 50 years ago, said :
“the town of Zohab was built a hundred years ago by a Turkish pasha
and tbe Government continued to be hereditary in his family till the con
quest of the Pashalik by tbe Persians. Tbe capital was surrounded by^ a
mud wall and may have at first contained about 1,000 houses, from its
frontier position it has been exposed to constant spoliation in the wars
* between Turkey and Persia, and is now a mass of ruins with scarcely
200 inhabited houses/'
The Persians say that during the war under Mohamed Ali Mirza
Zohab furnished to the Turks 1,000 horsemen clad in chain armour.
“ The climate of Zohab is proverbially unwholesome, and the water
though clear and not unpleasant to the taste, contains some pernicious
mineral component that, if indulged in for a short time only, seriously
affects the traveller. To the natives, however, it is not so baneful, but
they are, nevertheless, aware of its bad qualities, for they recommend a
raw onion to the stranger before a draught is indulged in. The waiter
of the Shir wan Holvan and Zimkan is alike deleterious, both to men and
cattle; so indeed are with few exceptions the whole of the springs which
have their origin in this part of the Zagros range. Fevers are very pre
valent, caused by the marshy nature of the district; and excepting
amongst the nomad tribes but few individuals wear an aspect of health.
During the summer, the heat is excessively oppressive, and the myriads
of annoying insects that infect the locality are represented as almost
beyond indurance. A cooler atmosphere can, however, be reached in a
few hours, and that luxury ice is attainable all the year round by sending
to tbe mountains above/ 5 (llawlmson — Jones). Elev. 2,100 feeh {Suyreu^
