Hansman, "Seleucia and the Three Douraks," Iran 16, 1978, pp. | | | He theorizes this because the geography of Pliny relating to a political situation existing prior to 45 C. would seem to place the Elymaeans of that period in control of much of eastern Khuzestân, but not of the city of Susa (Pliny, 6.31). |
