An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Cyropolis (Ancient Greek: Κυρόπολις) was town in Media Atropatene, between the rivers Cyrus and Amardus. The town is reported by Ptolemy and Ammianus Marcellinus. Claudius Salmasius (in Solin. p. 840) has denied the separate existence of this town, and contends that it is the same, as on the Jaxartes, also called Cyropolis, asserting that the authority of Ammianus is of no weight, as he generally follows Ptolemy. There seems, to William Smith, the foremost British classicist of the 19th century, no great force in this argument, and, if there were any district in which one might naturally expect to find a city called after Cyrus, it would surely be that with which he was immediately connected during his whole life.

  • Кирополис (др.-греч. Κυρόπολις) — бывший город в Атропатене, между реками Кура и (Сефидруд). О городе сообщают Птолемей и Аммиан Марцеллин. Клавдий Сальмазий (in Solin. P. 840) считал, что это был не отдельный город, а другое имя Кирешаты на Сырдарье, также известной как Кирополис, утверждая, что авторитет Аммиана не имеет значения, поскольку он обычно следует Птолемею. Уильям Смит, выдающийся британский классик XIX века, полагал, что этот аргумент не имеет большой силы, и, если искать где-либо город, названный в честь Кира, это, несомненно, была бы та местность, с которой он был непосредственно связан на протяжении всей своей жизни.
