  • Nih was a town belonging to the ancient state of Sistan, which straddles the modern border of Afghanistan and Iran.

Nih is also referred to by Yâķût and Mustawfî, who, however, add no details, except to state that it was founded by King Ardashîr Bâbgân, though at the present day the remains of great fortifications, and the immense ruins found here, would seem to prove that in the middle-ages it had been a place of much importance.
