« Deprived of its political status and without any large agricultural production in the surrounding enclave (because of the inadequate water supplies), Sirdjan was quickly reduced to secondary importance. In the 14th century it repeatedly suffered wartime devastations, and in 1411 it was destroyed by the Timurid Iskandar b. 'Umar Shaykh, who then deported the survivors to nearby Bimand. At the end of the 18th century a new town, Sa'idabad, was founded 10 km from Old Sirdjan, and eventually this settlement took over the name Sirdjan as well. »#3112 Peter Christensen, The Decline of Iranshahr: Irrigation and Environment in the Middle East, 500 bc–ad 1500, Bloomsbury Publishing Limited, London, 2015 ~ p. 183

His identification of this name with the Panthialaioi of Herodotus would give another territorial siting on the east flank of Fars, and we begin to get some idea of the spread of the different divisions of people who had come to be recognized as Persians. » #250 Cook, J.

SOURCE for Neyriz
« Neyriz - Attestations: In the inscription of Shapur I at Ka'ba Zardusht, there is a reference to the šahrāb of Neyriz (ŠKZ, line 50) (106). According to this inscription, Neyriz may have been a separate province (šahr) during the early Sasanian period, attached to Darabgerd as early as the late 4th century, when the DA mint signature was recorded on coins, while there exists no mint signature that can be identified with Neyriz. Alternatively, Darabgerd may have been referred to as Neyriz in this early Sasanian period inscription, with its name being changed to Darabgerd before the late 4th century. - Identification: The modern town of Neyriz is located about 288 km east of Shiraz.

« Neyriz itself is a poor town, containing about 1500 families, including those of its three adjacent forts. It occupies a consider- able space with its gardens and houses in a corner of the plain near mountains, and on the south-eastern extremity of the lake, from which it is distant about 7 miles. In some of our maps it is erroneously placed on the northern shore. Its bazar possesses some forty or fifty shops and three caravanserais, but the former are of the meanest description. Though this place is on the high- road between Shiráz and Kermán, such is the limited nature of the traffic between the two places that we had not encountered a single caravan in all the distance between Sirjan and Neyriz. » #3106 Keith Edward Abbott, Geographical Notes, Taken during a Journey in Persia in 1849 and 1850, The Journal of the Royal Geographical Society of London, 1855 ~ p. 71

« Niriz with its belt of almond plantations and fruit gardens, set between a semicircle of utterly barren mountains and the wide salt-encrusted bed of its great dried-up lake, from a distance presented the picture of a true Central Asian oasis. What cultivation there is to the N. and NW. on the flat expanse descending towards the lake basin, which now rarely holds any water, depends wholly on qanāt irrigation. This may explain why, in spite of repeated inquiries and search, no prehistoric remains could be traced in the neighbourhood.Niriz is duly mentioned by the early Arab geographers, and Muqaddasi among them notes the mineral contents of its mountains to the NE. They may yet some day give importance to the place which at present counts among its main resources its produce of almonds and raisins. Ibn-al-Balkhi's brief account mentions the abundance of grapes, and shows that both Niriz and Katrü were in his time included in the Shabankāreh chiefship. » #3162 Aurel Stein, An Archaeological Tour in the Ancient Persis, British Institute for the Study of Iraq, 1935 ~ p. 204

« Sultānābād, the capital of Iraq, has a population of 7,000, extensive. busy bazārs, and many good caravansarais. There are water-courses running down the centre of the wide street. The town is surrounded by gardens, and just outside are the large premises of Messrs. Ziegler and Co., who are engaged in the carpet-weaving industry. The carpets are made in the villages and town of Sultanabad. The country round is fertile and produces average crops of cereals: vines flourish. Supplies are procurable: transport scarce and must be collected from villages; donkeys are much used by the villagers. (Gazetteer.)

Cameron scopri a Persepoli alcune tavolette in lingua elamita, recanti dettagli sulle paghe degli operai ivi impegnati nella costruzione del palazzo di Dario; su una di tali tavolette compare il nome di Shiraz, sotto la forma Shira-its-tsi-ish. Si ha così la prova che la città esisteva già nel periodo degli Achemenidi. In quel tempo, tuttavia, essa era messa in ombra da Persepoli. Sotto i Sasanidi Shiraz fu capitale dell'Ardashir Khurreh, uno dei cin- que distretti in cui era divisa la provincia del Färs. ...

This is evidence that the city already existed in the period of the Achaemenids. At that time, however, it was overshadowed by Persepolis. Under the Sassanids Shiraz was the capital of Ardashir Khurreh, one of the five districts into which the province of Färs was divided. ...] » #3310 Lockhart,L. Morozzo Della Rocca,R.

As we zig zagged up this last 300 feet the path was fortunately good and smooth enough to leave na most of our attention for the view. To right and left stretched sway the great snow topped ranges, and across the gulf at our feet you saw range on range of mountains creasing the scene, ridge belind ridge, peak behind peak, a perfect sen of mountains away to the great anow tops beyond, every degree of height and distance marked by wonderful colour and light and shade under the bright sun and the blue sky. » #3296 Emily Overend Lorimer, letter 'En route from Bandar Abbas to Kerman.

« The desolate caravansarai ofMaskun is situated in a hollow on the highest part of the pass, 7,300 feet above sea level. We found that 2 miles beyond the caravansarai the road makes another steep ascent to the extreme summit of the pass of Deh Bakri, for which the aneroid registered a height of 7,800 feet. Descending by a steep and slippery path, we reached a mile further on the caravansarai of Deh Bakri, which closely resembled that of Maskan, and had evidently been built thus near it to afford shelter to travellers on either side of this dangerous pass in severe weather.

« It is at this point, where the open valley ground extending unbroken to the south-west through the Jiruft trough and Bulük ends, that a point in Marco Polo's account of his journey from Kerman to Hormuz may conveniently receive notice. We have seen above that the 'city of Camadi' to which it brought him can with certainty be located at the great ruined site near Behkird at the head of Jiruft. It has long been recognized that the Venetian refers to the route leading thence through Jiruft and Bulük, where he tells us: 'The Plain of which we have spoken extends in a southerly direction for five days' journey, and then you come to another descent some twenty miles in length, where the road is very bad and full of peril, for there are many robbers and bad characters about. When you have got to the foot of this descent you find another beautiful plain called the Plain of Formosa. This extends for two days journey.' The subsequent mention of a two days' ride to the seashore and a 'city with a harbour which is called Hormos' makes it clear that Marco Polo must have reached the coast by the route which, after descending the Gulāshgird valley and crossing the Rüdkhaneh- i-duzdi, the 'Robbers' river-bed', reaches the coastal plain at Shamil probably over the pass of Nivargudär. From Minäb, where the only other route that can come into consideration debouches, the port of old Hormuz would be only half a day's journey.

At the head of the Jiruft basin there lies on an old river terrace a large ruined site, known as the "Town of Daqianus." It has long ago been recognized that it marks the chief place of Jiruft as described by Muqadassi, and other Arab geographers. Marco Polo's account of his journey from Kerman to Hormuz leaves no doubt about its identity with his "city called Camadi which formerly was a great and noble place, but now is of little consequence; for the Tartars in their incursions have several times ravaged it." The great abundance of fine pottery fragments, mostly glazed or relief-decorated, which could be picked up all over the site, bore testimony to the prosperity which the city had enjoyed. The numerous coins found at the site point to the city having flourished greatly during the period of the early Abbasid Caliphs (circ. A.D. 750-860). But some seals engraved with late Hellenistic designs I acquired there suggest that the site was occupied earlier. A brief trial excavation brought to light some good specimens of ornamented ceramic ware of Muhammadan times and confirmed Muqadassi's statement about the houses of Jiruft having been built with sun- dried bricks on stone foundations. » #831 Stein, Sir M.

That location would fit well with Pliny’s statement that Issatis was built on a clifftop, rather than in the long inter-desert oasis valley where Yazd arose.(17) However, because the Sagartians were nomads, their range of habitation may very well have extended from Simnān down to Yazd by the time of the Parthian kings. Their territory would then skirt the Dašt-i Kavir, lying between those two pastoral zones, and permit the single toponym ‘Issatis’ for both locations in pre-Islamic times.(18)fn. 15 Pliny the Elder (Gaius Plinius Secundus), Natural History, ed. and trans.

It is built almost entirely of mud or sun-dried bricks, a few of the better houses as well as some of the mosques and other public buildings being faced with burnt bricks.The fort or ancient city is surrounded by a high mud wall flanked by towers at about 50 yards interval. Outside this high wall runs a low one with a command of about 9 feet over the glacis, and giving a second tier of fire. Outside this lower mud wall runs a ditch with perpendicular unrevetted sides of a width and depth of about 20 feet. The weaker points of the building are defended by round towers connected with the main building by arched bridges; the ditch being widened in places so as to include the towers and yet preserve the same width throughout.The Governor lives in a fortified enclosure - the citadel, which is inside the fort. The citadel is the only part of the defences which are not in a ruinous and unserviceable condition. It is similar in construction to the rest of the fort, and like it, has mud walls about 30 to 40 feet in height. These are about 8 feet thick at the base and taper gradually upwards, till at the parapet the thickness does not exced 1 foot.It is entered by two gate-ways, one being on the north-west and the other on the south-east face. The ditch in each instance is crossed by a permanent single-arched bridge.The fort has evidently been unused as such for many years, the interior being choked up with a mass of houses, through which run nar-row winding streets, some of which are roofed over and so low that it is impossible for a horseman to ride through them. In many places all the interior works have fallen away, leaving lines of loop-holes 15 or 16 feet above the ground, where they are quite useless.The fort contains the Jama Masjid, an ancient building, whose lofty minarets are the first object to strike the eye when viewing the city from a distance. Several of the irregularly built bazars of the city wind in and out of the fort on the south-west side, and as they are roofed over, it is hard to tell whether one is inside or outside. » #3269 H. B.

Ancient qanāts supply it with brackish water, and it abounds in mulberry, pomegranate, and palm trees, which fill the gardens that extend 2 miles to the north of the town, and almost connect it with two little outlying hamlets. From a distance it looks stately and prosperous, but is really poverty-stricken and stagnant. No trade has taken root here, as the town lies on the main road. Twenty-six miles from Bafq is what is called its gate. It is the termination of the pass in the descent of the road from Shaitur. The gates consist of sheer walls of rock, 400 feet high and 200 yards apart, the passage being a quarter of a mile long. » #3545 Gazetteer of Persia vol. III.

« we filed slowly into the town of Naïn, called 'Naim' by Josafa Barbaro, who found it 'evill enhabited, not exceading Ve houses.' (2) A century earlier (1340) the Persian geographer Mustaufi described it as surrounded by 'a rampart 4000 paces in circumference,'(3) and Yakut, a hundred years before him, spoke of the theological reputation of Naïn, as having produced a number of eminent students of the Koran and scholars versed in Mohammedan lore. I was struck by the evident antiquity of the place, and I find Naïn mentioned by the Arab geographers in the ninth and tenth centuries, but I have not yet been able to trace its history back to the Sasanian period, although the designation of the ancient citadel as Kal'ah-i Gabar, Gabar Castle,' and the retention of Zoroastrian naines in some of the local designations point to a very early age. fn. 2 Josafa Barbaro, Travels, ed.

« NÁIN.Lat. 32° 49' 6"; Long. 52° 56'0".A town in the district of Yazd, from which it is 80 miles distant. It is 93 miles east of Isfahan.Náin is a small town, rather less than a mile in circumference, enclosed by a dilapidated wall and ruinous ditch, and entered by five gateways. It is situated on an uneven part of a great plain, a short distance south of some mountains which intersect the flat country at this part. With the excep-tion of some trifling patches of cultivation and a few gardens of fruit trees, the environs appear perfectly sterile, and the aspect of the place is rendered still more wretched by the ruins of nud walls which surround it. It pos-sesses a small bazaar of some 70 or 80 miserable shops.A ruined mud fort stands within the town, which latter possesses some 5,000 inhabitants. Náín is the principal place in a district extending from south-east to north-west about 54 miles, and from north-east to south-west about 77 miles, in which space there appear to be 8 villages and some 300 hamlets. Many of the latter are tenanted each by a very few families. The productions of the district consist of Larley, wheat, cotton, all in triflingquantities, and fruits, such as melons, grapes, and pomegranates. The importance of the place lies on its position at the junction of roads to Isfahan, Kashán, Yazd, Samnán, Damghán, Biabanak, and Tabas. » #3461 India. Quarter Master General's Department.
