الدُّورُ:
بضم أوله، وسكون ثانيه: سبعة مواضع بأرض العراق من نواحي بغداد، أحدها دور تكريت وهو بين سامرّا وتكريت، والثاني بين سامرّا وتكريت أيضا يعرف بدور عربايا، وفي عمل الدّجيل قرية تعرف بدور بني أوقر وهي المعروفة بدور الوزير عون الدين يحيى بن هبيرة وفيها جامع ومنبر، وبنو أوقر كانوا مشايخها وأرباب ثروتها، وبنى الوزير بها جامعا ومنارة، وآثار الوزير حسنة، وبينها وبين بغداد خمسة فراسخ، قال هبة الله بن الحسين الإصطرلابي يهجو ابن هبيرة:

العين أربعمائة ألف وخمسة وأربعون ألفا وخمسمائة وسبعة وأربعون دينارا، الورق ثلاثمائة ألف وعشرون ألفا ومائتان وسبعة وثلاثون درهما، وزن الأواني الذهبية ثلاثة وأربعون ألفا وتسعمائة وسبعون مثقالا، آنية الفضة ألف وتسعمائة وخمسة وسبعون رطلا، ومما وزن بالشاهين من آنية الفضة ثلاثة عشر ألفا وستمائة وخمسة وخمسون درهما، ومن الندّ المعمول سبعة آلاف وأربعمائة وعشرون مثقالا، ومن العود المطرّى أربعة آلاف وأربعمائة وعشرون مثقالا، ومن العنبر خمسة آلاف وعشرون مثقالا، ومن نوافج المسك ثمانمائة وستون نافجة، ومن المسك المنثور ألف وستمائة مثقال، ومن السّكّ ألفا ألف وستة وأربعون مثقالا، ومن الغالية ثلاثمائة وستة وستون مثقالا، ومن الثياب المنسوجة بالذهب ثمانية عشر ثوبا قيمة كل واحد ثلاثمائة دينار، ومن السروج ثلاثة عشر سرجا، ومن الجواهر حجرا ياقوت، ومن الخواتيم الياقوتية خمسة عشر خاتما، خاتم فصّه زبرجد، ومن حبّ اللؤلؤ سبعون حبّة وزنها تسعة عشر مثقالا ونصف، ومن الخيل الفحول والإناث مائة وخمسة وسبعون رأسا، ومن الخدم السودان مائة وأربعة عشر خادما، ومن الغلمان البيض مائة وثمانية وعشرون غلاما، ومن خدم الصقالبة والروم تسعة عشر خادما، ومن الغلمان الأكابر أربعون غلاما بآلاتهم وسلاحهم ودوابهم، ومن أصناف الكسوة ما قيمته عشرون ألف دينار، ومن أصناف الفرش ما قيمته عشرة آلاف دينا، ومن الدواب المهارى والبغال مائة وثمانية وعشرون رأسا، ومن الجمّاز والجمّازات تسعة وتسعون رأسا، ومن الحمير النقالة الكبار تسعون رأسا، ومن قباب الخيام الكبار مائة وخمس وعشرون خيمة، ومن الهوادج السروج أربعة عشر هودجا،

دَوْرَقُ:
بفتح أوله، وسكون ثانيه، وراء بعدها قاف: بلد بخوزستان، وهي قصبة كورة سرّق يقال لها دورق الفرس، قال مسعر بن المهلهل في رسالته: ومن رامهرمز إلى دورق تمرّ على بيوت نار في مفازة مقفرة فيها أبنية عجيبة، والمعادن في أعمالها كثيرة، وبدورق آثار قديمة لقباذ بن دارا، وبها صيد كثير إلّا أنه يتجنب الرعي في أماكن منها لا يدخلها بوجه ولا بسبب، ويقال إنّ خاصية ذلك من طلسم عملته أمّ قباذ لأنه كان لهجا بالصيد في تلك الأماكن، فربما أخلّ بالنظر في أمور المملكة مدة فعملت هذا الطلسم ليتجنب تلك الأماكن، وفيها هوامّ قتالة لا يبرأ سليمها، وبها الكبريت الأصفر البحري، وهو يجري الليل كله، ولا يوجد هذا الكبريت في غيرها، وإن حمل منها إلى غيرها لا يسرج، وإذا أتي بالنار من غير دورق واشتعلت في ذلك الكبريت أحرقته أصلا، وأما نارها فإنها لا تحرقه، وهذا من طريق الأشياء وعجيبها لا يوقف على علّته، وفي أهلها سماحة ليست في غيرهم من أهل الأهواز، وأكثر نسائها لا يرددن كفّ لامس، وأهلها قليلو الغيرة، وهي مدينة وكورة واسعة، وقد نسب إليها قوم من الرّواة، منهم: أبو عقيل الدورقي الأزدي التاجي واسمه بشير بن عقبة يعدّ في البصريين، سمع الحسن وقتادة وغيرهما، روى عنه مسلمة بن إبراهيم الفراهيدي وهشيم ويحيى بن سعيد القطان وغيرهم، وأبو الفضل الدورقي، سمع سهل بن عمارة وغيره، وهو أخو أبي عليّ الدورقي، وكان أبو عليّ أكبر منه، ومحمد بن شيرويه التاجي الدورقي أبو مسلم، روى عنه أبو بكر بن مردويه الحافظ الأصبهاني، وقد نسب قوم إلى لبس القلانس الدّورقيّة، منهم: أحمد بن إبراهيم بن كثير بن زيد بن أفلح أبو عبد الله الدورقي أخو يعقوب، وكان الأصغر، وقيل: إن الإنسان كان إذا نسك في ذلك الوقت قيل له دورقيّ، وكان أبوهما قد نسك فقيل له دورقيّ فنسب ابناه إليه، وقيل: بل كان أصله من دورق، روى أحمد عن إسماعيل بن عليّة ويزيد بن هارون ووكيع وأقرانهم، روى عنه أبو يعلى الموصلي وعبد الله بن محمد البغوي، توفي في شعبان سنة 246.
والدورق: مكيال للشراب، وهو فارسيّ معرّب، وقال الأحيمر السعدي، وكان قد أتى العراق فقطع الطريق وطلبه سليمان بن عليّ وكان أميرا على البصرة فأهدر دمه، فهرب وذكر حنينه إلى وطنه فقال:
لئن طال ليلي بالعراق لربما ... أتى لي ليل، بالشآم، قصير
معي فتية بيض الوجوه كأنهم ... على الرحل، فوق الناعجات، بدور
أيا نخلات الكرم! لا زال رائحا ... عليكنّ منهلّ الغمام مطير
سقيتنّ، ما دامت بكرمان نخلة، ... عوامر تجري بينهنّ بحور
وما زالت الأيام، حتى رأيتني ... بدورق ملقى بينهنّ أدور
تذكّرني أطلالكنّ، إذا دجت ... عليّ ظلال الدّوم، وهي هجير
وقد كنت رمليّا، فأصبحت ثاويا ... بدورق ملقى بينهنّ أدور
عوى الذئب، فاستأنست بالذئب إذ عوى، ... وصوّت إنسان فكدت أطير
رأى الله أني للأنيس لشانئ، وتبغضهم لي مقلة وضمير
