在瑪代省亞馬他城的宮內尋得一卷,其中記著說, 聖經寶庫 (Treasury of Scripture) at Achmetha. 750 miles from Seleucia the Great, 20 miles from the Caspian passes, 450 miles from Susa, and the same from Gazae Atropatene, and in lat. 37 deg. 45 min., long. 88 deg., according to Ptolemy. The building of the city is ascribed to Semiramis by Diodorus, but to Deioces by Eusebius, (in Chr. 以斯拉記 1:1 ,) and Herodotus, who states that it was surrounded by seven walls, strong and ample, built in circles one within another, rising each above each by the height of their respective battlements; each being distinguished by a different colour, the first white, the second black, the third purple, the fourth blue, the fifth orange, the sixth plated with silver, and the seventh with gold. The largest of these was nearly the extent of Athens, i.e. 200 furlongs, according to Dion Chrysostom; but Diodorus Siculus states the circumference of Ecbatana to be 250 furlongs. Within the inner circle stood the king's palace and the royal treasury, so much celebrated for its splendour and riches by Polybius. It is highly probable, as D'Anville and Major Rennel suppose, that the present Hamadan, whose ruins attest its former splendour, occupies the site of Ecbatana. It is situated in Al Gebal, at the foot of the lofty mountain Alwend, about 80 leagues from Ispahan, and also from Bagdad.) 鏈接 (Links) 以斯拉記 6:2 雙語聖經 (Interlinear) • 以斯拉記 6:2 多種語言 (Multilingual) • Esdras 6:2 西班牙人 (Spanish) • Esdras 6:2 法國人 (French) • Esra 6:2 德語 (German) • 以斯拉記 6:2 中國語文 (Chinese) • Ezra 6:2 英語 (English)現代標點和合本 (CUVMP Traditional) ©2011 Global Bible Initiative. |
