It contains 380 houses inhabited by Afshars, Jamshidis, Kapchaks dependent on
the Vali of Maemana. It is surrounded by gardens and cultivation.

in his route from Herat to Balkh evidently alludes to the same place. He says
no grain is procurable, but water and forage are abundant. (Palmer―Ferrier).
