The peace of the country round Ispahan had been much disturbed by the depredations of a numerous and barbarous tribe, called Bukhteearees, who inhabit the mountains that stretch from near this capital to the vicinity of Shuster. The subjugation of these plunderers had ever been deemed possible.
The greater portion of the water is directed eastward into a canal cut for it; and the town of Shuster is thus defended on both sides by a water barrier, whereby the position becomes one of great strength.
"And I suppose you will end by getting a million, eh?" "No such luck! But I'm getting a piano. Did I tell you? A Blüthner. It's already on the way up from Mohamera." "A Blüthner! In Shuster! God in heaven! Why did you wait until I had gone?" "Well, aren't you still here?" The fact of Magin's being still there, so unexpectedly, hung in his mind.
I begin to wonder if we shall get through the reefs at Ahwaz with all the rubbish I have on board." "Ah, bah! You can manage, going down.

In the centre is a group of seven figures, comprising: Sapor, who is on horseback in his usual costume; Valerian, who is under the horse's feet; Miriades, who stands by Sapor's side; three principal tribute bearers in front of the main figure; and a Victory, which floats in the sky. Another important work, assigned by tradition to Sapor I, is the great dike at Shuster.
But there was no lack of graciousness in the gestures with which those famous hands saluted the visitor and pointed him to a seat of honor on the rug beside the Father of Swords.

After a brief pause, Artabanus made a final effort to reduce his revolted vassal; and a last engagement took place in the plain of Hormuz, which was a portion of the Jerahi valley, in the beautiful country between Bebahan and Shuster. Here, after a desperate conflict, the Parthian monarch suffered a third and signal defeat; his army was scattered; and he himself lost his life in the combat.
The Kuran is a river very much exceeding in size both the Tab and the Jerahi. It is formed by the junction of two large streams the Dizful river and the Kuran proper, or river of Shuster. Of these the Shuster stream is the more eastern. It rises in the Zarduh Kuh, or "Yellow Mountain," in lat. 32°, long. 51°, almost opposite to the river Isfahan. From its source it is a large stream.
