fruits are figs, apples, and grapes ; the latter are of very fair quality

HAZAR-JARIB (2)—
A village in the Farldan division of the Isfahan province. It is govern
ment property and inhabited by about 100 Armenian families, who pay yearly
taxes to the amount of 410 t€mdns='Ra. 1,640. It lies 3 miles west of
Zarneh and 108| miles from Isfahan on the road to Burujird.— (Schindler.)
HAZAR KALEH-
Corruption of Hisar Kaleh, and same as Hisar Amir (q. v.).— (Schindler.)
HAZARKANIAN (Saral)—
Two small villages in the district of Saral. Every house in the upper
village has its own spring; hence the name of Hazarkanian or Thousand
Springs. The villages belong to six brothers descended from a family which
came apparently from Syria or Sham. The family first settled in Avroman,
where the river Ab-i-Shamian was named after them. From there one of
the ancestors of the present owners of Hazarkanian came to the district
of Saral and founded the village of Na’lshikan not far from Hazarkanian.
He assisted a chief of the Bebeh Kurd, who had been driven away from
Sulaimanleh, and who, when he came again to his own, granted his host
land in Shahr-i-Zur. The son returned to Saral and founded Hazarkanian
— (Mann.)
HAZAR SHABAN (The Thousand Shepherds) or Hisarshaban (The Shepherds
Village), Shaban being, sometimes, spelfc Chupan—
A village 20 miles from Tehran, to the left of the road to Hamadan; it is
government property, and has 15 houses.—(Sc/mwZZer.)
HECATOMB YLOS—
Where Alexander the Great rested after his pursuit of Darius, and later-
on, the residence of the Parthian kings, was a large city full of supplies
and well watered, situated in a plain, 1,260 stadia (144 miles) from the
Caspian gates. 144 miles from the centre of the Tangi-bSar Darreh (q.v.)
along the present high road brings us exactly to Damghan. But the site of
Hecatompylos must be sought south of Damghan, for, accarding to Polv-
bius (X, 28), when Antiochus III pursued As-aces III, he made one dav’s
march from Hecatompylos to Tagae, and Tagae, present Taq (q. v.) lies only
5 miles and not a day’s march from Damghan. Again, the old road from
Samnan to Hecatompylos did not go over the Ahuan hills, for from
Arrian, Diodorus and Polybius it appears that neither Alexander the Great
nor Antiochus III crossed any hills after passing through the Caspian gates
