Meaning
- singularA lake or river of Margiana, Central Asia, mentioned by Pliny
in qua Alexander Alexandriam condiderat, qua diruta a barbaris Antiochus Seleuci filius eodem loco restituit Syrianam interfluente Margo, qui corrivatur in Zotha lacu; maluerat illam Antiochiam appellari.
This place having been destroyed by the barbarians, Antiochus,the son of Seleucus, rebuilt it on the same site as a Syrian city. For, seeing that it was watered by the Margus, which passes through it, and is afterwards divided into a number of streams for the irrigation of the district of Zothale, he restored it, but preferred giving it the name of Antiochia.77 CE – 79 CE, Plinius Maior, Naturalis Historia 6.18.47
