 This is however improbable, due to Ardashir I operating around Kashkar before the battle.According to an unfinished work by Bal'ami, the battle took place at "Khosh-Hormoz", which is another name for the notable city of Ram-Hormoz, situated near Arrajan and Ahvaz.This implies that Ram-Hormoz was perhaps another word for Hormozdgan, and also clarifies why the latter is not mentioned by Islamic geographers whilst the former is reported in detail.
