This article appears in Volume V08, Page 348 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DIO-DRO
DIZFUL , or Du-Put (" fort-
bridge
  "), a town of Persia, in the province of Arabistan, 36 m. N.W. of Shushter, in 32 25' N., 48 28' E. Pop. about 25,000. It has post and telegraph offices. It is situated on the left bank of the Dizful river, a tributary of the
Karun
 , crossed by a fine
bridge
  of twenty-two
arches
 , 430 yds. in length, constructed on ancient
foundations
 . Dizful is the
chief
  place of a small
district
  of the same name and the residence of the
governor
  of Arabistan during the winter months. The
district
  has twelve villages and a population of about 35,000 (5000 Arabs of the Ali i Kethir tribe), and pays a yearly
tribute
  of about 6000. The city was formerly known as Andamish, and in its vicinity are many remains of ancient canals and buildings which afford conclusive proof of former importance. 16 m. S.W. are the ruins of
Susa
 , and
east
  of them and half-way between Dizful and Shushter stood the old city of Junday Shapur.
