f> E» D. Maclagan— Abu-l-FazVs account of tlie Multan SirJcar. [No. 1, 
Beyond the Five Rivers :— 
The mahals of this tract need not be mentioned in detail as they 
are nearly all outside the present Multan district. It will be noticed 
however from the list that the Indus flowed north of Sitpur in the 
Muzaffargarh district and that the Cinab apparently joined the Satlaj 
some miles to the east of the present point of junction. The village of 
RaprI, about 8 miles west of Jalalpur Pirwala, which now lies slightly 
to the east of the Cinab, then lay on the west. The ‘Majloli Ghazipur’ 
of the text may be the present Ghazipur in Tahsil Shuja‘abad, but if so 
the river Cinab must have run very much to the east of its present 
course. There is moreover a tradition that the present Ghazipur 
(which is a large brick village, once the headquarters of a Sikh 
parganah) was founded in the last century by the Nawwabs of Dera 
Ghazi Khan. The list of mahals also includes a place called Ubaorah, 
and if this is the village of that name lying immediately south of 
Jalalpur Pirwala, the Cinab must have then cut off a very considerable 
tract of country which now lies on its eastern bank.
