Tabas-e Masina (Persian: طبس مسينا)[a] is a city in Gazik District of Darmian County, South Khorasan province, Iran, serving as the administrative center for Tabas-e Masina Rural District.[4]

History

[edit]

In the Middle Ages, the town was known as Tabas al-Unnab ('Tabas of the Jujube') to distinguish it from the nearby Tabas al-Tamr ('Tabas of the Dates'); together the two towns gave their name to the district of Tabasayn.[5] In the 10th century, Ibn Hawqal described it as a middling town of clay bricks, but with ruined fortifications and no castle; while Qazvini in the 13th century mentions a castle in the nearby village of Iravah. Medieval geographers noted the relatively abundant water supply of the town, in marked contrast to the surrounding countryside.[5] In the 19th century, the town was inhabited almost entirely by Afghan Sunnis, whence it was also known as Sunni-Khanah.[5]
