BADRABlD (No. 2)—
A village in the Sar-i-Jam sub-division of the Meshed district in Khora-
san, 40 miles from the town of Meshed on the road to Turbat-i-H aidari.
This is a new village built just below the hill on which Kafir Kaleh stands.
It contains 25 families, and belongs to Mirza Sadra (the present Chief
Secretary to the Prince Rukn-ud-Dauleh, Governor-General of Khora-
san) after whom it is called. Water good, supplies procurable.—(ilf a if Za
Bakhsh, 1898.)
BADRI-
A village in Khorasan, on the road from Sabzawar to Khur, and
60 miles from the former town. There is water here and a few supplies.—
{MacGregor.)
SAFARABAD—
One of the villages of Chehar Deh in the Shahrud-Bustam district, half
way between Sankhas and Jajarm. It has 30 houses. {MacGregor.)
SAFIABAD (No. 1)—
A village 12 miles from Meshed, to the left of the road to Kuchan.—
{Schindler.)
SAFIABAD (No. 2) (District)—
A small plain or valley which forms part of the Bam-Safiabad district
in Khorasan.
Looking south-west from ’Alas, a small village about 7 miles north
west of Safiabad, the horizon is bounded by the long line of hills that run
to the south of Tabas and- Jaghatai. Between these hills and this place
lies a long line of low hills or mounds, which divide the Safiabad-Mangli
plain from Juvain. So far as I can ascertain, the drainage of the Garmab
stream at Safiabad lies to the north of this line of low dividing hills or
mounds, and runs down to Mang li and thence to Garati.
The plain is of soft alluvial soil, and is cultivated in places where water
is obtainable from the hills. Out in the open it is dotted with the black
tents of Za’afaranlu Kurds of Kuchan, who graze their camels and sheep
here during the winter months. The land and villages belong to the
Safiabad district.
The Safiabad valley is some 12 miles in width in its upper part, but
gradually narrows till it gets to Garati. It has little water in its lower
parts, and the plain is practically nothing but a grazing ground.
Garati is the last village in the Safiabad district, and shortly below it
the Bam and Safiabad streams unite and run down together towards
Jajarm, quite separate from the drainage of the Isfarain valley.—
{C. E. Yate, 1897.)
SAFIABAD (No. 3) (Village)—Lat. 36° 40' 20"; Long. 57° 59' 20" ; Elev.
4,000'— {Yate).
The chief village of the Safiabad valley in the Bam-Safiabad district
in Khorasan. It is 17 miles from Bam, and contains some 200 houses of
