Intersection register · custodian, not owner
Ahvaz, a city of Khuzestan on the Karun River (Iran), had a Jewish community whose presence is attested in the Middle Ages and which persisted into the 20th century, as part of the Iranian Jewish diaspora. The community emigrated largely to Israel and the United States following the Islamic Revolution of 1979.

The days of this book
This book bears no memory day yet. The sources that document Ahvaz give years and centuries, never a day; we do not invent one.
