埃克巴坦那
描述
以克巴他拿是以色列被掳到的“玛代的城市”之一 [2Kgs 17:6]。需要注意的是，希腊作家提到过几个其他的以克巴他拿。其中一个后来被称为加扎卡（塔赫提苏莱曼，位于乌尔米湖以南，纬度36度28分北， 经度47度9分东）是阿特罗帕特尼的首都。它在12世纪几乎被蒙古人摧毁。H. 罗林森爵士将多比书和希罗多德所提到的以克巴他拿与这个北方城市联系在一起。我们所描述的南方且更为重要的以克巴他拿无疑是 [2Mac 9:3] 中提到的。它是居鲁士的玛代首都，无疑也是 [Ezr 6:2] 中提到的。

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.
