Its most conspicuous peak, a notable landmark, named Sultan Ibrahim,
is just over 12,000 feet in height. In the valley at the foot of its northern
slopes the Ab-i-Sabz Kiih flows to join the Karun at Du Pulan, where the
latter makes a sharp bend round its south slopes.— {Sawyer, 1890 — Arbuth-

SABZ KUH, AB-I or AB-I-SIAH—
A river in the Bakhtiari country, with its primary sources rising from the
eastern extremity of Sabz Kuh, and from its northern slopes. One of its
principal springs gushes out at about 8,050 feet from a hill known as Char-
ghash and blocking the Sabz Kuh valley. Some of the villages watered by
this stream in its course through the latter valley are those of Charkeh, Chi-
ragh, Deh-i-Nau; whence it rushes through a stupendous rift of the Tang-i-
Siah into the Karun, just below the hamlet of Du Pulan (4,850 feet). The
stream is crossed opposite to this village by a rickety structure of piles
and wicker-work.— {Sawyer, 1890 — Arbuthnot, 1905.)

and a small water-course on the south of it. It is covered with jungle close
to the shore, and on the summit is a small, unimportant tomb only visible
when close in to shore. The village contains 30 houses of Lurs with a few

the former place.— {Dobbs, April 1902.)
SA'DABAD (1)—
The principal village of Zira, in the Dashtistan district of Ears, 5 miles
east by north of Darudgah, and 10 miles south-west of Dalakf. It lies
