Dowdej ( Persian: دودج, also Romanized as Dūdej; also known as Dodej, Dūdeh, Duder, and Qal‘eh Dūdij) [1] is a village in Darian Rural District, in the Central District of Shiraz County, Fars Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 1,480, in 355 families. [2]
According to Abdolmajid Arfaee, Dūdej is the same as the place called Dutaš mentioned in the Persepolis Administrative Archives of Darius I. [3] It is closely associated in the Persepolis tablets with the place called Uranduš, which Arfaee suggests may have been near present-day Dariyan. [3]
