SAHNEH (Buluk or District)—
This district can be divided into two distinct parts
1. Sahneh and its immediate’clependencies, which were formerly Khdliseh
or Crown property, but have been given in Tlul to Vazir-ud-Daftar of
Tehran and his descendants.
2. The village and hamlets belong to Khudabandehlu Khans. These
villages are said to number 23. The Khudabandehlu are responsible for the
revenue direct to the Accountant’s Department of Kirmanshah.
The district is watered partly by the Gamasiab and partly by springs
and mountain torrents, the most important being the Ab-i-Sahneh which
rises in a gorge about 1 farsakh in length just above the village of Sahneh,
and which waters the gardens of Sahneh before being used up in irrigating
the fields.
For a list of the villages of the District of Sahneh see Kabino’s “ Gazet
teer of Kirmanshah” 1907.— (Rabino, 1907.)
