Pasveh (Persian: پسوه)[a] is a village in, and the capital of, Lahijan-e Sharqi Rural District[4] in Lajan District of Piranshahr County, West Azerbaijan province, Iran.
Parsua civilization
[edit]Pasveh has a strategic location controlling the "easy" pass between the Lahijan district, in the Lesser Zab headwaters, and the Lake Urmia basin.[5]: 79
According to Vladimir Minorsky, Pasveh represents the name and location of the ancient Parsua kingdom.[5]: 79 He explained the difference in name by saying that r-deletion in consonant clusters is well-attested.[5]: 79 Pasveh was a frontier outpost near the Parsua's southern border (their core territory was probably the fertile Solduz district further north).[5]: 79
In the early 1200s, Yaqut al-Hamawi visited Pasveh and left a description in his works.[5]: 79 A century later, Hamdallah Mustawfi included an entry for it (here spelled Basavā or Pasavā) in his Nuzhat al-Qulub.[6] He described it as a small town in the tuman of Maragheh whose surrounding agricultural district produced grain, grapes, and some other fruits; he said its tax value was assessed at 25,000 dinars.[6] Pasveh later features in the accounts of Kurdish tribal feuds in the Sharafnama.[5]: 79 Much later, when Minorsky visited Pasveh in 1911, he described it as a "desolate" town with a "dilapidated" fort.[5]: 79
