Dargaz County is a
county in
Razavi Khorasan Province in
Iran. The capital of the county is
Dargaz. The prestigious and very ancient of Abivard (the Apavartene in the works of the ancient geographers,
Ptolemy and
Strabo) was changed just a few years ago, believing wrongly that it is a later Arabic name. Apavarta simply meant "rosewater" in
Parthian and
Old Persian.
