many ages a city of great ftrength; and an emporium for

reforted, in their route from Candahar to-tli£ Cafpian 
Sea. It repeatedly fuffered, and as often emerged, froriv 
thofe fatal calamites to which the cities of the eaft are 
fo peculiarly incident. In 1740, many.foundations of 
the ancient city were cleared and ploughed up, and 
fown with grain; and out of its magnificent ruins the 
prefent town was built. Aftrabad was its port. 
HE'RAT, a town of Perfia, in the province of Cho- 
rafair, fituated on a river of the fame name, furrounded 
with walls and ditches, and defended by an old caftle.

of Sargultzar, or City of Rofes. Lat. 34. 30. N. Ion.
