s qui les ont traversées ou en ont longé le cours,parcouraient le pays à des époques différentes et nont pu comparer leursobservations.

Cet affluent de lOxusnaît dans la même dépression du sol que lAk-sou, mais coule en sensinverse, vers le sud-ouest, pour aller rejoindre à Langar-kicht lOxus duGrand-Pamir, celui que les gens du Badakchan, le considérant comme lefleuve principal, nomment le Djihoun, et que, dans les temps modernes,lAnglais Wood remonta le premier.
