		Isidorus of Charax (q.v.) in the first century CE referred to it as Congobar and mentioned a temple of Ana@hita@ (Anaitis) there (Isidorus of Charax, nos.
		It is questionable whether the Temple of Ana@hita@, described by Isidorus of Charax, is identical with the ruins of Kangavar.
		Isidorus described obviously another temple of the first century AD, somewhere in the region of Congobar (Kangavar) or at the place of the later platform, which, according to the results of the excavation, seems to be built up in Sasanian time, perhaps under Kòosrow II Parve@z (r.

		That thesis is quite imaginable, in view of the varying age of the relevant sources; it may be supported by reference to the fact that the district in question for some time could have (and indeed seems to have) belonged to a state other than the one which ruled the adjacent regions.
		Nísaia was, according to Isidorus of Charax 12 (cf.
		Isidorus (ibid.) says also that the tombs of the Parthian kings were at this place, so apparently the Parthian royal city Nisa (q.v.) is meant.

	Parthian Stations
		It is clear that the southern kingdoms tributary to the Parthian state were in large measure independent in their commercial affairs, and that some understanding to this effect existed with the Parthian capital; otherwise the diversion of trade between the northern and southern routes at Lake Helmund could not peacefully have occurred.
		Charax means "palisade" or "palisaded earthwork." Charax Mediæ is of course not to be confused with Charax Spasini.
		But the most ancient traveller who actually visited and described these provinces, albeit very briefly, is Isidorus of Charax, who was a contemporary of Augustus, and whose account is of such value that I quote it in a footnote.

		There is no occasion, however, to assume another Isidore of Charax; we would rather assume either that the Artaxerxes of whom Lucian speaks was one of the Arsacidae, or that the words €?ri t(av irarepuv are not to be taken literally, or that here, as in many other instances, Lucian's incidental chronology is worth nothing.

		Demetrius may have first started to recover the province of Arachosia, an area south of the Hindu Kush already inhabited by many Greek but ruled by the Mauryas since the liberation of the territory by Chandragupta from Seleucus.
		In his "Parthian stations", Isidorus of Charax mentions a colony named Demetrias, supposedly founded by Demetrius himself:
		And the Parthians call this White India; there are the city of Biyt and the city of Pharsana and the city of Chorochoad and the city of Demetrias; then Alexandropolis, the metropolis of Arachosia; it is Greek, and by it flows the river Arachotus.

		Isidore of Charax, Parthian Stations: An Account of the Overland Route between the Levant and India in the First Century BC.
		The Parthian Stations, fragmentary as it is, is one of the few records of the overland trade route during the period of struggle between Parthia and Rome.
		This rare edition of W. Schoff, absent from the shelves of most libraries, provides a Greek text, English translation and commentary and is followed by all other known fragments.

		Isidoros of Charax: used as a source alongside Pytheas for Pliny's description of the Atlantic islands in his Natural History 4.95 and 4.102.
		Isidorus theorizes an additional 1,250 miles to Thule beyond the established estimate of 2,110 miles from the Nile northward.
		Pliny himself believes the estimates are too conservative given the innumerable barbarian tribes and spaces of uninhabited (also, uninhabitable) territory between and beyond their nomadic pastures.

		Coins, inscriptions, papyri, parchments and the work of artisans, artists and builders all play their partial roles.
		Fullest literary accounts occur in works written under the Roman aegis, by men such as Polybius, Strabo, Isidorus of Charax, Josephus, Tacitus, Plutarch, Arrian[us], Philostratus and Cassius Dio; but they tend to re-echo Roman governmental hostility.
		Jewish, Syriac and Chinese writers have more to add; but later Armenian, Arab, Persian and Indian sources are more imaginative than helpful [Colledge: 1967].

		Put the suggestion that this 4th century archetype was based on a much earlier map would account for the inclusion of Herculaneum, Oplontis, and Pompeii, which had been destroyed in the eruption of Vesuvius in A.D. 79 and not rebuilt, except for parts of Pompeii.
		It is also perhaps easier, on this supposition, to see why certain roads are omitted, such as the major routes through the Parthian empire mentioned in the Mansiones Parthicæ [Parthian Stations] of Isidorus of Charax.
		This work is believed to have been compiled in the late first century A.D. Around the personification of Rome - a female figure on a throne holding a globe, a spear, and a shield - are twelve main roads, each with its name attached, a practice not adopted elsewhere.

		We are rather inclined to identify Ichnae with Tell Sabi Abyad, around 30 km in the south of the
		Turkish border, based on the text ‘Parthian Stations’ (a kind of travel diary from the first century BC, so precisely the times of Crassus) by Isidorus of Charax, an Aramaean who marked the distance between successive sites in his itinerary.
		In his chapter ‘Mesopotamia and Babylonia 171 Schoeni’, Isidorus of Charax names Ichnae immediately before Nicephorum along the Euphrates (so certainly present-day Raqqa on the Euphrates).
