CANDAHAR, the capital of the above province, is seated on a mountain; and being a place of great trade,
Candahar trade, has a considerable fortress. The caravans that travel from Persia and the parts about the Caspian sea to the East Indies, choose to pass through Candahar, because there is no danger of being robbed on this road, and provisions are very reasonable. The religion is Mahometanism, but there are many Banians and Guebres. E. Long. 67. 5. N. Lat. 33. 0.
