He named it Shahr-i-Islâm, ‘the City of Islam’, and enclosed it with a wall 3000 paces in circuit built of mortared stones. The surrounding districts were very fertile, growing cotton, corn and much fruit. Its river, called the Âb-i-Ûjân, rose in an eastern spur of Mount Sahand. To the south-west of this mountain, and about 60 miles from Tabriz, being four leagues from the shore of the lake, was the great village of Dâkharraḳân, as Ibn Ḥawḳal and the Arab geographers spell the name, which the Persians write Dih Khuwârḳân.
