a city of Persia, in the province of Azerbijan. It is a well-built town, has a spacious bazar, and is encompassed with a high wall.

The gardens and plantations are watered by canals drawn from a small river, over which there are two bridges erected 800 years ago. There is a glass manufactory, and a very handsome public bath; and there are also several curious old tombs, in one of which, without the walls, Holaku, a distinguished prince of the line of Genghis Khan, and his wife, are interred. The town contains about 15,000 inhabitants of the Turkish tribe of Mokudim, under their chief Ahmed Khan, a nobleman of the first rank. It is sixty-eight miles north of Tabreez. Long. 46° 25' E.
