HAU'KAL (Abul CafimEbn), a celebrated Moham¬ 
medan geographer, who, about the middle of the tenth 
H A U 259 
century, travelled through Arabia, Egypt, and Samar- 
cand, and publilhed an account of his travels in the 
Arabic language. “My defign,” fays Ebn Haukal, 
“ in the compofitjon of this book, ;s to defcribe the 
various climates and region's of the face of the earth, 
comprized within the circle of Ifiam, or Mohamedanifm: 
but, as the particular details feemed unneceflarily pro¬ 
lix, they are here comprefled within a final! compafs f 
and in the prefent volume, (which is entitled Mefelec, or 
Memalec,) our plan is to defcribe, and to delineate on 
maps, the various feas or oceans which furround the 
land, the inhabited and the defert iflands, and every cli¬ 
mate or region of the earth ; affixing the name of each, 
fo that it may be known in the maps ; and confining our- 
felves to thofe countries which are the feat of Iflam, 
and the refidence of true believers.” In thefe countries 
the following ancient curiofities are ftated : 
In,the territory of Iftakhar is a great building, with 
ftutues carved in ftone; and there, alfo, are inferiptioris, 
and paintings. It is laid that this was a temple of So¬ 
lomon, .to whom be peace ! and that it was built by the- 
Dives, or Demons: fimilar edifices are in Syria, and 
Baalbeck, and Egypt.—The ruins here meant are the 
Cliehel Minar, or forty pillars, fuppofed to conftitute 
the only remains of the city of Perfepolis, deftroyed by 
Alexander. 
In the territory of Iftakhar, alfo, there is a kind of 
apple, half of which is fweet, and half four. Merdas' 
ben Onvru mentioned this circumftance to Hafan Reja : 
he denied the poflibility of it ; and Merdas fent and 
caufed one to be brought, and ffiewed it to him. 
At the village-of Abderrahman, there is-a great, pit,, 
the bottom of which is dry all the year, except at the 
feafoii for watering the fields, when'wateriflues from it;, 
and ferves for the purpofesof agriculture and drinking. 
When it is not any longer neceflary for the hulbandman’s 
ufe, the water difappears.—This Angular phenomenon is 
not entirely without example: as we read .of a pool in 
Guienne, near the church of St. Jean d’Ailgeli, which’ 
is almoft deftitute of water in winter, though in J'ummer 
it yields it abundantly. A fimilar fountain is" laid to 
exift in Spain, about twelve miles from Valladolid, 
which begins to flow in May, and ceafes in November. 
In the territory of Shapur, there is a mountain ; N and 
in that mountain are the ftatues of all the kings, and ge¬ 
nerals, and high priefts, and illuftrious men, who have- 
exifted in Pars, And in that place are fome perfons who 
have r-eprefentations of them, and the dories of them 
written; and this territory belongs to the trihe ofi Afg¬ 
han, at Hilm Mohdi.—This probably relates to the 
ruins at Naklhi Ruftum, which have been ufually men¬ 
tioned as fepulchres. 
At the city of Jaur, near the northern gate, is a pond, 
or pool of water, in which a brazen velfel is fo placed, 
that, from a hole in it, the water ifl'ues with great vio¬ 
lence.—In the vicinity of Abercuh are conliderable heaps 
of alhes. The common people fay, that here was'the 
fire of Nimrod (into which he caufed Abraham to be 
thrown). But this is not true : the fa6t is, that Nimrod, 
and the kings of Canaan, dwelt in the land of Babylon. 
—In the Cura of Arghan, (called Ragian. on our maps,), 
at the village called Sahil al Arab , there is a well, from 
which proceeds water enoYigh to turn a mill, and water 
the fields. The people here fay, that they have made 
various efFortSvto afeertain the depth of this well, but' 
have not ever been able to reach the bottom.—In the 
Cura of Roftac al Roitac there is a p.lkce between two 
hills, from which fmoke conftantly ifl'ues ; and it is laid, 
that if a bird ihotild fly near that place, it would drop 
down dead. 
At Sinir, Genaba, Cazrun, and Tuj, linen garments 
are manufaftured ; and the embroidery and'clolhesmade 
at Bala are elteemed by the princes in all countries, and 
fent into all parts of the world. The gold brocade worn 
by the princes is made at Bafa. This embroidery is per* 
formed
