island Hawab, the island Haula 2 *, which is situated behind Hawal ; 

 the islands Zu Kassdr*\ through which great ships cannot pass ; 

 behind Zti Kassdr, the island Mokammanl, and behind that the 

 island Hodaife 5 §, on which are a few trees, and no passage between 

 them on account of a great number of rocks ; the island Hodaife is the 

 last towards Bdkifi on the seaside : the water is here very unclean. On 

 the east side of them is a small island called Masad? , but no passage 

 between them ; behind them the island Jihdn el Kebir e \\, and near it on 

 the nether side the island Jihdn ess-ssaghir°^\ : the sea between them is 

 full of shallows, to east of them the island Sdsoh 10 which is a great moun- 

 tainous island : on the western side of it a shallow called amariya 11 . Ap- 

 proaching from the seaside the island Sdsoh is in sight before the 

 amariya ; on this shoal the depth of the water is five fathoms (kuldj.) 

 Between the two above said islands the great and little Jihdn is also an 

 amariya or shallow. Be it known that the cape of Jazar Farsdti 12 ** 

 lies north between Sharja™ and Jazd u on the sea side are the two 

 islands Zu Kharab {b \\ and Zu Saldb™. Sdsoh is on the sea side of 

 these two islands between south and west. On the sea side of Sdsoh 

 are two islands, each of which is called Dohr jihdn (back of the 

 world.) Be it known that the island of Seil Mothan 17 H is the end of 

 the Persian islands : on the sea side and north side there is no coast 

 except that of the island of Irak Ozdb 1 *. The back of Jazar Farsdn ,9 §§, 

 and the unclean places are on the side of Irak Ozdb ; towards the east 

 side lies the back of the island Rakab 20 ; the most eastern of all is the 

 island Jozidn 21 , from thence Borrassli 22 is in sight. There is a small
