Naysān (also known as Jabal Khayabar and Naisān) is a tell and an archaeological site in southern Iraq. The tell has not been excavated due to ongoing conflict and instability in the area, however, a preliminary survey was conducted in 1965.〔J. Hansamans, Charax and the Karkhen, Iranica Antiquitua 7 (1967) page 21-58〕 That survey identified a series of impressive bastion walls of baked brick and significant pottery shards on the surface. The shards that could be identified belonged to the Sasanian or early Islamic periods 〔J. Hansman, “Charax and the Karkheh,” Iranica Antiquita 7, 1967, pp.pp. 36-45).〕 The city was a trapezoidal shape approximately . The site has been identified as the ruins of Charax Spasinu.〔A. B. Bosworth, Conquest and Empire: The Reign of Alexander the Great, Cambridge University Press ( page 159 )〕〔( Charax ) Iranica online Webpage〕〔Katrien De Graef, Jan Tavernier, Susa and Elam. Archaeological, Philological, Historical and Geographical Perspective, page 523 and 497.〕 This claim is based on the scale of the ruins, the fact that the local name for the ruins is Naysān which is probably a corruption of the Parthian name Maysān,〔Yāqūt, Kitab mu'jam al-buldan III〕 and the location of the ruins at the confluence of the Tigris and Karkheh Rivers as stated of Charax Spasinu, by Pliny the Elder.〔Pliny the Elder, Natural History. Book VI. xxxi. 138-140.〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Naysān (Iraq)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
