=== 1673. Asia. The first part being an accurate description of Persia, and the several provinces thereof by John Ogilby. ===
<blockquote>... Four Leagues from this Village lies a strong, large, and populous Place, call'd Saru, where the King hath a magnificent Palace, and thereby has gain'd the repute of a City, though consisting chiefly of a sort of Thatch'd Houses, except a few scatter'd Dwellings that are Tyl'd: It is call'd Saru, which signifies Yellow, from the abundance of Oranges, and other yellowish Fruits that grow about the same. Beyond Saru lie several great Plains, which in former Ages were overgrown with Woods, but since that being clear'd and Manur'd, they are become very fertile, and the Ways, which then were very deep are now (the Ground lying open to the Sun) become very hard, and some places of late made into Pav'd Cawseys. These Plains are also inhabited by several People, most of them Christians, sent thither from divers Countreys An. 1620. to make several Plantations, especially from Armenia and Georgia. </blockquote>

All these quarters would have revolted in 1594. but Xa Abbas soon brought them to their duty, and chastised them for their offence.</blockquote>
