or Sarieh, a town of Persia, capital of the province of Mazanderan, about 11 miles from the shore of the Caspian, and 115 N.E. of Teheran. N. Lat. 36° 30'; E. Long. 53° 10'. It is about 2 miles in circuit, surrounded by a mud wall and moat, with brick towers. There are several gates, but most of them have fallen down, and roads have been made through the wall at various other places. The houses are of brick, neatly tiled, and some of the streets are good, though others are unpaved and very muddy. Everywhere marks of ruin and neglect are apparent. The most remarkable building is a hollow tower of brick, with a conical roof, 100 feet high. There are also a mosque, palace, five colleges, several Parsee temples, baths, and a mean bazaar, where there is some trade in the produce of the country. The surrounding region is fertile, and contains many saints' tombs. Pop. 30,000.
