18 A hill in Q im, 9-10 miles north-west of Qum.
JT It is an isolated rocky mountain several hundred feet high, from which
saline springs issue, forming a marsh and pond around, and leaving a thick
deposit of salt. The interstices and gullies of the hill are likewise full of
salt, which appears to impregnate, and perhaps forms the interior mass of
the hill. Large slabs of this mineral are removed for general use. The hill
is a natural curiosity well worth visiting. It is regarded with superstitious
feeling by the natives, who say that “ he who goes to it returneth not. ”
The probability is that the ascent, at least in parts may be rendered danger
ous by the boggy and infirm nature of the soil, and accidents occurring
have given rise to the superstition.— (Abbott).
KOH-I-NIMAK (2) (the salt mountain)—
A low range of hills, north-west of Robat Karim, to the right of the
road from Tehran to Hamadan.— (Schindler).
