[91] The standard fersekh of Persia is 6000 royal yards (gez-e-shâh), which is somewhat more than three miles and a half. This measure, however, varies in different provinces of that kingdom.

[92] Many Persian authors assert that the word Tûrkûmân is from the compound term Tûrk-mânend, or Turk-like; and the conclusion made from this is, that they are a tribe of Tartars who, having become inhabitants of the north-eastern part of Persia, were subsequently designated by a name which marked their origin. Persian writers, however, are generally bad etymologists, and I am a worse; I must, therefore, leave this important question in doubt.
