Stephanos of Byzantium - Ethnika
Chorasmie: a city to the east of the Parthoi. Hekataios in his Periegesis of Asia: ‘Among them is the city Chorasmie’. The inhabitants are ‘Chorasmioi’, as per Hekataios himself: ‘To the east of the Parthoi dwell the Chorasmioi’. And Herodotos, book 3: ‘The Parthoi and Chorasmioi and Sogdoi’. And again: ‘This plain once belonged to the Chorasmioi’.
