Descriptions
“والمدينة عتيقة البناء عليها سور يطيف بها ثم رحلنا منها مرحلتين ووصلنا إلى قرية تعرف بالعقر على شطّ الدجلة، وبأعلاها ربوة كان بها حصن وبأسفلها الخان المعروف بخان الحديد له أبراج وبناؤه حافل والقرى والعمارة متّصلة من هنالك إلى الموصل. ثم رحلنا ونزلنا موضعا يعرف بالقيّارة بمقربة من دجلة” 1
