A frontier fort in Khorasan, 10 miles south of Sarakhs. It is large enough
to hold 400 men, but the ordinary Persian garrison consists of some
16 men only. There is a well in the fort about 20 or 30 feet deep,
and fuel is to be found on the river-bed about f mile off. On the right
bank of the river are some heights, which might be rendered a very strong
position for a fort, and arrangements might be made for storing water in
the river-bed belew. This would probably be a better tactical positicyi
for a frontier fort than that of Sarakhs.—(MacGregor.)
