Note 597 — Chapter XXII
E. J. (Edward James) Chinnock translation
The Cophen is now called Cabul. Nicaea was probably on the same site as the city of Cabul. Others say it is Beghram. The Greek word Satrapes denotes a Persian viceroy. It is a corruption of a word meaning court-guardian, in the Behistûn Inscriptions written Khshatrapâ. See Rawlinson’s Herod., i. 192.
