62 W. Irvine —Nddir Shah and Muhammad Shah , a Kindi poem. [No. 1, 
Fathabad, and locates it three stages from Mashhad. An 
anonymous history of Nadir Shah, lately received by me 
from India, names Fathabad, two farsakh’s from Khyushan, 
as the place of assassination. Qujun and Khyushan are 
no doubt the Koochan of Keith Johnston’s Royal Atlas, 
about 100 miles north-west of Mashhad. Ernst Beer, “ Das 
Tarikh-i-Zendije” (Leiden, 1888), XIY, spells the name 
Khabushan , and this in popular use became Khujcin } and 
finally Quchan.
