It is near the River [[Oxus\|Albiamu]], which is the Oxus of the Ancients, and therefore call'd Trans Oxiana Regio by the Romans, about 50 Leagues from [[Samarchand\|Samarcand]].

This City and adjacent Country were formerly under the [[Persia\|Persians]], but being possess'd by a Tartar Prince in 1558, they made cruel Wars upon the Persians, because of their wearing Hair on their Upper Lip, which the Tartars count a great Sin. The Kings are generally Poor and Tyrannical, and seldom Reign above 2 or 3 years, being either expell'd or kill'd; it was formerly much frequented by Caravans from [[India]], Persia, [[Russia]], and Calhia, from which last it is 9 months Journey, and 20 days Journey from Vercem. Lat. 39. 10.</blockquote>
