We moved between hills of salt ; we crossed several streams, whose crystal clearness invited us to drink, but their waters were so salt that no one could even pass them over his tongue. Among the rest is a stream called Ryo Salgado (the river of salt), over which was a great bridge of more than thirty arches. In nine days, after sufferings enough, we arrived at Gomoram (Gombroon), of which the other name is Bandarabassi (Bandar 'Abbasi), meaning 'Harbour of Shah 'Abbas'; for, being a port on the sea, it is called 'Bander' (bandar), and having been established by the Great Shah 'Abbas, they have added 'abassi,' and have come to call it Bandarabassi. This harbour was made by Shah 'Abbas, after having recovered from the hands of the Portuguese, with the aid of the English, the famous island and fort of Orumus (Hormuz). - [Previous: 40.5](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.40.5) - [Next: 41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.41) - [Up: 40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.40) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.40.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.40.6) · Pramāṇa
