ANA, or ANAH, a town of Arabian Irac, or pachalic of Bagdad, which extends five or six miles along the western bank of the Euphrates. It consists of a single street built on both sides. The houses are of stone, two stories high, and separated from each other, as in other eastern towns, by beautiful gardens, filled with fruit-trees, bearing lemons, oranges, citrons, quinces, figs, dates, pomegranates, and olives. It is an open and defenceless place; and in 1807 it was attacked by the Wahabees, who gave it up to plunder, and perpetrated the most horrible cruelties, massacring the greater part of the inhabitants, and setting the town on fire; after which they retreated with their plunder, carrying into captivity many women and children. The inhabitants are said, previous to this calamity, to have been more polished than those in the neighbourhood, and to have consisted chiefly of Arabians, who were, however, addicted to their usual vocation of robbery when any opportunity offered. Population about 3000. 260 miles east of Damascus; 220 south-east of Aleppo. Long. 41. 15. E. Lat. 34. N.
