Manbij
Manbij ((アラビア語:منبج) / ALA-LC: ''Manbij''; ') is a town in the Aleppo Governorate, Syria, 30 kilometers west of the Euphrates. In the 2004 census by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Manbij had a population of nearly 100,000.〔 Its inhabitants are predominantly Sunni Muslims of Arab, Kurdish and Circassian ethnicity.〔 ==Etymology== Coins struck at the city before the Macedonian conquest record the Aramean name of the city as Mnbg (meaning spring site). For the Assyrians it was known as Nappigu (Nanpigi). The place appears in Greek as Bambyce and Pliny (v. 23) tells us its Syrian name was Mabog (also Mabbog, Mabbogh). As a center of the worship of the Syrian goddess Atargatis, it became known to the Greeks as the Ἱερόπολις (Hieropolis) 'city of the sanctuary', and finally as Ἱεράπολις (Hierapolis) 'holy city'.
