History
This river, known by various names in antiquity, was an upstream tributary (via the Karun river) of the final stage of ancient Tigris/Pastigiris, ultimately debouching into the Persian Gulf. Today its waters still join the Karun. The modern course of the Dez lies within the modern country of Iran.
