Ekbatana
Opis
Ecbatana je bilo eno izmed "mest Medijcev", kamor je bil Izrael odpeljan v ujetništvo [2Kr 17:6 ]. Omeniti je treba, da grški pisci omenjajo več drugih Ecbatan. Ena izmed teh, pozneje imenovana Gazaca (Takhti Sulaiman, malo južno od jezera Urmi, širina 36 stopinj 28' severno, dolžina 47 stopinj 9' vzhodno), je bila prestolnica Atropatene. Skoraj so jo uničili Mughuli v 12. stoletju. Sir H. Rawlinson identificira Ecbatano iz Tobita in Herodota s tem severnim mestom. Južna in veliko pomembnejša Ecbatana, ki smo jo opisali, je zagotovo tista iz [2Mak 9:3 ]. Bila je Medijska prestolnica Kira in je brez dvoma tista iz [Ezr 6:2 ].

Achmetha
(Ezra 6:2 ), called Ecbatana by classical writers, the capital of northern Media. Here was the palace which was the residence of the old Median monarchs, and of Cyrus and Cambyses. In the time of Ezra, the Persian kings resided usually at Susa of Babylon. But Cyrus held his court at Achmetha; and Ezra, writing a century after, correctly mentions the place where the decree of Cyrus was found.
