TABADKiN (No. 2) (River)-
A river in north-eastern Khorasan, which rises in the southern slopes of
the main Kupeh Dagh range, west of the Meshed-Dushakh road, and flows
in a general south-westerly direction.
At 3 miles from Ahmadabad it turns south, but fails to reach the Kashaf
Rud, as all its water is taken off for irrigation purposes.
The river has a small volume of water, as, after it irrigates the cultivation
of the villages of Tabadkan and Ahmadabad, the flow ceases altogether,
but begins again some 3 miles lower down where it is fed by a spring.
In its upper course the Tabadkan flows down a precipitous defile ; between
the villages of Tabadkan and Ahmadabad the valley opens to a breadth
of | mile and is cultivated. Farther south the valley again contracts
to a width of 300 yards, but the hills on either side are easy. {Oran-
off shy, 1894.)
TABADKAN (No. 3) (Village)—Lat. 36° 30' 0"; Long. 60° V^—{Napier).
The head-quarters of the sub-division of the same name in north
eastern Khorasan, situated 21 miles from Meshed on the road to Kalat-i-
Nadiri by Chehcheh. It contains 150 Persian families, who own 200 cattle
and 1,000 sheep and goats. The normal annual production of wheat and
barley amounts to 7,200 Indian maunds.— {Mania Bakhsh ; Oranoffsky, 1894.)
TABARIK (No. 1) (Defile and Stream)—
A defile and stream in northern Khorasan, on the northern side of the
Mian Kuh, running towards the west from Hazar Masjid, south of the
Allahu Akbar range. In this defile lies the source of the Atrak river,
which first bears the name of the Tabarik rivulet, and then that of Khanam
Darreh. At a short distance from its source the Tabarik is joined by the
Bacheh Vallu stream, issuing from between the Giuni and Shakaru mountains.
From this point the Tabarik runs in a south-westerly direction, and, being
joined by the Nukh, flows west to Kuchan, near which place the Qaraul
Dimi mountain abuts on its right bank, the left or southern side of the river
being a smooth expanse, on which the old city of Kuchan is situated. Thus
far only is the river known by the name of Tabarik.—(PefrwsmM.)
TABARIK (No. 2) or TABARI (Village) (called by the natives
TAVARIK or TAVARI)— Lat. 30° 9' 30". Long. 58° 41' 20"—(Vaper).
A village in Kurdish Khorasan, on the road from Muhammadabad to
Kuchan. It is prettily situated in a little valley, surrounded by
picturesque mountains and by many trees. It has a good deal of cultivation ;
but might have much more, as no less than four fairly plentiful streams
discharge their water into it. One of these streams is the chief source ^
of the Atrak river. It is crossed at Tabarik by a small bridge. The village
contains 50 families of Kaivanlu Kurds, who own 100 cattle, 400 sheep
and goats, 10 horses and 50 camels. The normal annual production of
wheat and barley is 7,200 Indian maunds.— {MacGregor ; Oranoffsky, 1894.)
TAB AS (No. 1) (District)—
The south-westerly district of Khorasan. It is bounded on the west
south and east by the Lut. To the south-west, the boundary between
