In literature
The 14th-century author Hamdallah Mustawfi mentioned it in his Nuzhat al-Qulub, as Arjāq, as one of the seven cities in the tuman of Pishkin.[7] He said that it had been founded by the Sasanian king Qubād after his father Fīrūz had founded the nearby city of Anād.[7] He described both cities as having temperate climates, being watered by streams coming down from Mount Sabalan, and having rich gardens that produced fruits, grapes, melons, and nuts abundantly.[7] The two were collectively assessed at a tax revenue of 7,000 dinars.[7]
