[578] A part of Mount Zagrus, previously mentioned, according to Hardouin.
[579] Its site appears to be unknown. According to Stephanus, it was a city of Persia. Forbiger conjectures that it is the same place as Badaca, mentioned by Diodorus Siculus, B. xix. c. 19; but that was probably nearer to Susa.
[580] The buryer excepted, perhaps.
[581] In c. 28 of the present Book.
[582] As mentioned in c. 26 of the present Book.
[583] A warlike tribe on the borders of Susiana and the Greater Media. In character they are thought to have resembled the Bakhtiara tribes, who now roam over the mountains which they formerly inhabited. It has been suggested that their name may possibly be connected with the modern Khuzistan.
[584] Supposed to be the same as the modern Kirmánshah mountains.
[585] As mentioned in a previous Note, (67 in p. 77), Pliny mistakes the Eulæus for the Choaspes. In c. 26 he says that Susa is on the river Tigris.
[586] Pliny says this in B. xxxi. c. 21 of both the Eulæus and the Choaspes.
[587] Most probably the Hedyphon of Strabo, supposed to be the same as that now called the Djerrabi.
