Descriptions

ثم سافرنا إلى جمكان (وضبط اسمها بفتح الجيم والميم والكاف وآخره نون)، ثم سافرنا منها إلى ميمن4
وأعطاه في جملة عطاياه مائة قرية من قرى جمكان، وهو خندق بين جبلين طوله أربعة وعشرون فرسخا2
ومن عجائب هذا الموضع المعروف بجمكان أن نصفه ممّا يلي شيراز وذلك مسافة اثنى عشر فرسخا شديد البرد وينزل فيه الثلج واكثر شجره الجوز، والجزء الآخر ممّا يلي بلاد هنج وبال وبلاد اللّار في طريق هرمز شديد الحرّ وفيه شجر النخيل.3
