PASPlN, KUH-I- —
This range appears to be pa t ox the Marz range, and lies next to the Kuh-i*
Shahri in Kirman. The following are the names of the tillages situated
on its slopes :—
Ab-i-Sarun.
Paspin.
Shagbar.
Chah-i-Tegu Safid.
Sar Narah.
Paniakun.
Baidan.
Tegu Puza.
Barreh-i-Nar
Ab-i-Sarun contains the most cultivation and the largest permanent number
of residents. The remaining villages are for the most part cultivated
by nomads (owners of flocks and herds) and, as a rule, are not permanentl)'
inhabited.— {Jennings.)
PAT—
A camping-ground in Persian Baluchistan, 22 miles south-east of Dehak,
situated on the Mashkil river. Fuel and grass are abundant, but the
water, though plentiful, is brackish.— {Hulseberg, 1902.'
PATAB or PUTAB—
A small village in the Geh district {g.v.) of Persian Baluchistan. It is 28
miles north-west of the town of Geh, and 1G miles north-east of Vajbis
{q.v.). It has water and palm groves. According to Grant (1809), Patab
is on the road from Geh to Jashk, the next stage being Yajbis {q.v.), which
is 8 or 9 miles from Kurandab. The total distance from Geh to Kurandab
by this road would be about 52 miles The route travelled by Hap
’Abdul Nabi in 1839, via Chahan and Muht, makes it only about 42 miles
between the same places. But perhaps the Patab route is easiei
Patab appears to be erroneously placed on St. John’s map. It should
be some 10 miles further north (?). This would make it only about 8 miles
east of the Bint river, and, supposing there is a road, only about 18 miles
from Fanuch, and the same from Bint.
PATAB—
A small village in Makran, about 23^ miles south of Geh, on the
Bandar-Tank road. A small amount of supplies is procurable, and water
from a spring. The villages of Rizdan and Nasok are close by, in the
hills.— {Brazier-Creagh, 1893, from native information).
PATANI—
A place in Makran, 21 miles south of Qasrqand, and 2| miles east of the
Rigi river. Water is only obtainable by sinking wells in the bed of
the ndlds — {Jones, 1900.)
PATARKUN—
A village in Bashakard, lying at the foot of the southern slopes of the
Band-i-Marz, 23 miles from Anguran, on the road to Sikunkan.
It is a fairly flourishing village of about 20 huts, but affords no supplies,
except some dates, and a few cattle and goats.
