HULVAN, HOLWAN, or MALAYAN—
A river of Kirmanshlh, which rising above the defile of Rijab, a few miles
east of Zuhab, joins the Ab-i-Direh at Milleh Yakub. Their combined
streams then flow past Qasr-i-Shir n (q.v.) and Khaniqin, and join the Ab-i-
Shirvan near Kizil-Rubat, whence the united stream is known as the Dyala.
