Stages 1 and 2 are the same as in Eoute No. 4.
This route is little used, and the length of the
stages is not given. It is 80 miles to Dehluran
and 65 from thence to Dizful. The villages are
few. Most of the streams are brackish. In spring,
when there is grass on the desert, large herds of
cattle are driven from Persia into Turkey by this
route.
