['Marco Polo"s Conosalmi, where he was attacked by robbers and lost the
greater part of his men, is perhaps the ruined town or village Kamasal
(Kahn-i-asal = the honey canal), near Kahnj-i-pancheh and Vaklbd in
Jruft. It lies on the direct road between Shehr-i-Daqns (Camadi) and
the Nevergn Pass. The road goes in an almost due southerly direction. The
Nevergn Pass accords with Marco Polo"s description of it; it is very
difficult, on account of the many great blocks of sandstone scattered upon
it. Its proximity to the Bashakird mountains and Mekrn easily accounts
for the prevalence of robbers, who infested the place in Marco Polo"s
time. At the end of the Pass lies the large village Shaml, with an old
fort; the distance thence to the site of Hormz or Bender "Abbs (lying
more to the west) is 52 miles, two days" march. The climate of Bender
"Abbs is very bad, strangers speedily fall sick, two of my men died
there, all the others were seriously ill.' (_Houtum-Schindler_, l.c. pp.
495-496.) Major Sykes (ch. xxiii.) says: 'Two marches from Camadi was
Kahn-i-Panchur, and a stage beyond it lay the ruins of Farib or Parib,
which was once a great city, and was destroyed by a flood, according to
local legend. It may have been Alexander"s Salmous, as it is about the
right distance from the coast, and if so, could not have been Marco"s
_Cono Salmi_. Continuing on, Galashkird mentioned by Edrisi, is the next
stage.'--H. C.]
