"KHAR, a small but very
fertile province of Persia, known by the ancients
as Choara and Choarenc; pop. about 10,000. The
governor of the province resides at Kishlak Khar,
a large village situated 62 m. S.E. of Teheran,
or at Aradan, a village ro m. farther E. The
province has an abundant water-supply from the
Hableh-rud, and produces great quantities of
wheat, barley and rice. Of the £6000 which it
pays to the state, more than £4000 is paid in
kind—wheat, barley, straw and rice."
