The road from Kernnanshah to Harasam passes the gardens of Sarah, and,
leaving the road known as Domb-i-Shamsheh, joins the gardaneh Dargivijeh,
then the gaduk Khartiageneh and enters the plain of Mahidasht ;
whence it goes straight to the gardaneh Khorkhor, passing half way across
the plain the village of Keimas. The road through the Khorkhor pass is
somewhat difficult. At the foot of the pass are many springs, which
supply about one spade (heel) of water to the fields of Mahidasht. Past
Khorkhor there are a few villages on either side of the road till one reaches
Anjirek, which has a little water. These villages are in the Mahal ol:
Talandasht. To the west is Ze'oire and the territory of the Kaihors. The
road then reaches the Tang-i-Shahini and the mountain side, which extends
all the way to Mandarik, then Tueh-Khoshkeh and Sarah Karkemandar,
which is part of Tueh Khoshkeh, then Eshretabad and from there up to
near Paiingird, and thence through the fields of Paiingird and Kharrek-Ab
to the gaduk Akhond-rah, which leads to the territory of Harasam, and
finally Kalleh Harasam.

the Gardaneh Suneh, descends to Manrek and enters the territory of Shuan,

passes the village of Hajji Yais and reaches the Gaduk Ziu Ve Gereh. A
