¹² Baranī p. 246 has جوده – در صحرا جوده is nothing but جود which may be read for جون in *shikast*. It has often been mantioned in Persion histories and is correctly written as Jūn in the Tājul Māāsir. Jūn means river Jumna. The gate of the city opening on the river side was known as the Jūn gate and the plain of Jūn was the tract of land lying between the river and the gate of Jūn.
