Maogamalcha
Maogamalcha (Amm. Marc. 24.4), a place in Mesopotamia, attacked and taken by Julian. It was distant about 90 stadia from Ctesiphon. (Zosim. 3.21.) It appears to have been strongly fortified and well defended. Zosimus evidently alludes to the same place (1. c.), though he does not mention it by name.
