A large circular enclosure in Ears, 4 miles to the south-west of the town
of Darab. It is one mile in diameter, and the walls, evidently simply
mounds dug out of the plain, originally formed a rampart 35 to 40 feet in
height, leaving on the outside a ditch, 40 feet broad. In the middle of
the enclosure are two small, rocky hills, on the southernmost of which
are the remains of some buildings and a well. This hill is also the higher
of the two, standing about 100 feet above the plain. On the north-east are
the remains of an aqueduct, running from the hill to what was evidently
the gate and carried across the ditch. This extended some way into the
plain. The place has occasioned much discussion, and it is generally
supposed by tradition to be the citadel of Darius Nothus of the Greeks,
who reigned 423 B. C. The place is said to have been destroyed by the
troops of Umar. It doubtless belongs to the Sassanian period.— (Abbott —
Preece, 1881 — Curzon, 188d.)

season and harvest only. It belongs to the Ahwaz district.— (Persian
