Nok Kundi ("the blunt point"), is a township and
region in western Pakistan in the province of Balochistan. This region of
western Pakistan (originally inhabited by Scythians as well as the Parthian,
House of Suren who established an empire from here), was historically known to
these people as Dzaranga ("water producing land"). It was recorded by
the Greeks and Hellenized to Drangiana in Greek literature. The original word
for this region still survives in Pashto as Dzaranda ("watermill" or
a "spring"). This word also occurs in Old Persian as Zaranka
("Waterland").
