Tebris, a town of Persia, and capital of Aderbeitzan. It was formerly the capital of Persia, and is now the most considerable next to Isfahan; for it contains 1,500 houses, besides many separate shops, and about 200,000 inhabitants. It is about five miles in circumference, and carries on a prodigious trade in cotton, cloth, silks, gold and silver brocades, fine turbans, and flaggreen leather. There are 300 caravanserais, and 250 mosques. Some travellers suppose it to be the ancient Ecbatana; but of this there is no certainty. It is seated in a delightful plain, surrounded with mountains, from whence a stream issues, which runs through the city. E. Long. 47° 50'. N. Lat. 38° 18'.
