The ruins supposed to be those of Persepolis are situated near Istakar, about forty miles north from the modern city of Shiraz, in the province of Fars or Persia proper; but the names in the original are often so corrupted as to defy even conjecture. Sylas is probably meant for Shiras. Named Chali in the original; but it is to be noted that the ch of the Italian is pronounced as k in English.
The east comprised Khorassan, Seistan, and Kirman; the north, Armenia, Azer-bijan, Ghilan, Koum, and Isfahan; the south, Fars and Ahwaz; the west, Irak, or Babylonia, Assyria, and Mesopotamia. It was not the intention of the monarch, however, to put a blind trust in his instruments.
Den Marse Chan he went on talkin' right fars' to her; an' he tole her how he had loved her ever sence she wuz a little bit o' baby mos', an' how he nuvver 'membered de time when he hedn' 'spected to marry her.
A reel purty job it's goin' to be, too, in there by the runnin' water, among the fars 'n the birds 'n the squirrels." "I suppose you could hardly have managed that all by yourself?" "Oh, yes! It's an easy job." "And you think you could have done it with just your two hands and a shovel and a crowbar?"
Makdisi says that in Fars existed the customs of fire-worshippers but that the fire-worshipping inhabitants of the capital of the province of Shiraz had no distinguishing mark on their clothes; from which it follows that in that age these people were in no way differentiated from the Musalman subjects.
Just in these geographers, Istakhri and Ibn Hauqal, is to be found information of unusual importance, so far as we can judge, regarding the conservation of the Parsi tradition in Fars These authors have been up to now not only not appreciated but their significance for our question has not yet been adequately recognised.
I myself saw at this place several persons who possessed 4,000 thousand dinars and there were some who had still more and their clothes were those of labourers. "In Fars there are fire worshippers, Guebres, and Christians and some Jews.
Perhaps Iracagemi? Perhaps Kerman? Inexplicably corrupt. Timochaim and Arboresecco are inexplicable, perhaps from corrupt transcription. But Timochaim appears to nave been Mekran on the coast of the Indian sea, and perhaps reached to the Indus, as observed in a former note; and it may have included Sigistan. Jasdi is almost certainly Yezd in Fars.
Its length seems to have been about 450, and its average width about 250 miles. It thus contained an area of rather more than 100,000 square miles. In modern times it is customary to divide the province of Fars into the ghermsir, or, "warm district," and the serdsir, or "cold region" and the physical character of the country must have made such a division thoroughly appropriate at every period.
g, when followed by e, i, y, ä, ö, is also like y. Example, Göta is pronounced Yöta. When g is followed by a, o, u, or å, it is hard, as in go. k is hard when it precedes a, o, u, or å. Example, Kaksi, Kolmi, etc. ä is pronounced like ä in fare. Example, Färs. There is no sound in the English language which corresponds to the Swedish ö. It is like the French eu in jeu.
