   Josephus informs us that this place was in Upper Media; and it
   is clear that it must be understood of some city or country in
   the dominions of the king of Assyria.  It is highly probable
   that it was the country on the banks of the river [Kuros,]
   Cyrus, or Kyrus, now called Kur, or Kura; and we find cities
   called Cyropolis, Cyrena, and Carine, mentioned by writers as
   lying in these parts, and a part of Media, called Syromedia,
   as it is thought, from the Syrians who were carried captive
   thither.
