83 in 1910, and the eldest son of Ismail Khan. 1;500 riflemen. Occupa
tions :—grain cultivation and horse-breeding 33 villages. Bounded by

hills.
SHADUBVAN (1).—Lat‘ Long. Elev.
A reservoir situated a little way north of the town of Shushtar, Khuzistan,
at the bifurcation of the river Karun.— (Chesney.)
SHADUBVAN (2)—Lat. Long. Elev.
A famous pavement in the Gargar river near Band-i-Qir in Khuzistan.
It was made of huge stones; jointed with lead; to prevent the washing away
of the soil and a consequent fall of the river. A dam built across the new
river raises the water on to the Shadurvan, forming a water fall when it
gets to the end.— {Schindler.)
SHAG IIAB— Lat. Long. Elev.
A village on the Bushire peninsula (y.r.).
SHAHABAD (1)—Lat. Long. Elev.
A town in Kirman, about 45 miles west of Zarand and 13 miles west of
Sang, on the road between that place and Anar. It is reported to contain
200 houses, with 1,200 inhabitants.— [Sykes, 1894 — from native information.)
SHAHABAD (2)— Lat. 32° 19' N.; Long. 48° 32' E.; Elev.
A village in Northern ^Arabistan, 12 miles south-east of Dizful, on the
road to Shushtar. It contains 40 houses and a small fort, and is inhabited
by Bakhtiari and Lur agriculturists, who include 60 fighting men. Water
is obtained from the river Diz by a qanat. There is an imamzadeh with a
few kunar trees. Near here are traces of ancient habitations, supposed to
mark the site of the Sassanian university town of Jund-i-Shapur.
Schindler, however, argues that the latter place must have been some
what south-west of Shahabad on account of the scanty water-supply, and
Jund-i-Shapur must have had water for its extensive date gardens. There
are no date gardens at Shahabad. The ruins near Shahabad have, however,
been identified with Shahr-i-Diagonus.— {Ratvlinson—Re Bode — Schindler
— Baring—Foreign Department Gazetteer, 1905.)
SHAHABAD (3)—
A village in the Sirjan district of Kirman, 13 miles from Saidabad, on
the road to Baft.
Close by, on a black slate hill, is a dilapidated shrine, dedicated to Shah
Elruz.— {Sykes, 1900.)
SHAH 'ABH-UL-QASIM— Lat. Long. Elev.
A village among some low hills at the foot of the Baushan Kuh in Ears.
The hills are covered with jungle of almonds and thorn.— {Preece, 1892.)
