In any case the exit of the Shatt-i-Niasam is an inconvenient point to refer to
because ,t is no accurately fixed. I would urge that we take Bisaitin 1 as our basis of
calculation, as this settlement has been astronomically determined. If any concession is
made here, I would suggest instead taking the line from entry of the Ghor-el-Muhaisin
