Along the banks of this stream were osiers, willows, date-trees, and briars, bearing the common blackberry of Europe ; romantic rocks were seen in several points of view, and the voice of the thrush still charmed us with its rich melody. From hence we went south-westerly, and in two hours more we reached the station of Moayn, distant from Imaum Zade three fursucks. This village, which was large, and surrounded with gardens, was also seated in a close valley, and had an agreeable appearance. We ...found here a large caravan of mules from Shiraz, halting in the open air ; but we took shelter ourselves in a half-ruined caravansera, not entirely abandoned. We had already received instructions about our road to Perse- polis, or Takht e Jemsheed, as we had always heard it yet called, from our friend Shuker Ullah Khan ; but we enquired here for confirmation, and received the same directions. Throughout all Persia, but more particularly here in Fars, a custom prevails of giving the salute ' Salam Alaikom, ' when- ever the first lighted lamp or candle is brought into the room in the evening; and this is done between servants and mas- ters as well as between equals.
