DAYAIZA(?) DUVAISSEH.—
A village in Persian Kurdistan, containing 100 houses, about 11 miles
from Sinnch on the road thence to Sulaimanleh. The inhabitants of this
village are mostly engaged in trade, not agriculture. The men are carriers,
and are employed in charge of the caravan, which passes between Sulaimanieh,
Sinneh and Hamadan. The village belongs to the uncle of the Vazir of Kur
distan, and pays only a light assessment of 100 tumdns per annum; the
revenue, according to the standard imposed on other villages, would be about
three times that sum. The people are Sunnis, and, like the Kurds in general,
entertain a special reverence for Abd-ul-Qadir Gilani, whose masjid and
tomb are at Baghdad. They call him their Imam, their Khalifeh.
The price of wheat at Davaiza was 2 tumdns per 100 Tabriz! mans^
and of barley 1| Inmans. — {T. C. Plowden. )

level bottom of the glen has a length of about one and-a-half miles, and a
breadth of half a mile. It is well watered and cultivated, and drains into
the plains near Damghan. It ends in a narow defile with high precipices
on either side—a perfect natural fortress.— {Napier.)
