Ἀγβάτανα, πολίχνιον Συρίας, Ἡρόδοτος τρίτῳ. οἱ δὲ νῦν Βατάνειαν αὐτὴν καλοῦσι. τὸ ἐθνικὸν Βατανεῶται, ὡς Ῥαφάνεια Ῥαφανεῶται. Δημήτριος δέ φησιν Ἀγβάτανα διττά, τὰ μὲν τῆς Μηδίας τὰ δὲ τῆς Συρίας. Κτησίας δὲ πανταχοῦ τῶν Περσικῶν τὰ παρὰ Μήδοις Ἀγβάτανα διὰ τοῦ « α » γράφει. παρὰ δὲ τοῖς ἀρχαίοις διὰ τοῦ « ε » τὸ Περσικόν, ὡς δειχθήσεται. παρὰ Χάρακι δὲ καὶ αὕτη διὰ τοῦ « ε », ἣν καὶ Ἐπιφάνειάν φασι κεκλῆσθαι. Ἡρωδιανὸς δ´ ἐν τῷ περὶ συντάξεως στοιχείων ἐγκρίνει τὴν διὰ τοῦ « κ » γραφήν, παραιτούμενος τὴν διὰ τοῦ « γ » λέγων οὕτως “μή τι ἄρα παρακινδυνεύει τὸ « β » ὑποτετάχθαι τῷ « γ », [ἐν] οἷς ὑποτέτακται ἐν τῷ λάγβατα ὅρκια”. τὴν δὲ διὰ τοῦ « γ » γραφὴν καὶ ἐν τῷ « ε » διασαφήσομεν. καὶ Ἑλλάδιος ἐν τῷ « α » στοιχείῳ παρέθετο τὸ ἐθνικὸν Ἀγβατανηνός. τοῖς Πέρσαις γὰρ συνήθης ὁ τύπος. λέγουσι γὰρ Καμβυσηνούς Παραιτακηνούς Σωφηνούς, ὡς δειχθήσεται. καθ´ Ἕλληνας δὲ Ἀγβατανεύς. δείξομεν δ´ ἐν τῷ « β » ὅτι ἡ καθ´ ἡμᾶς Βατανέα καὶ Βατάνεια καλεῖται καὶ τὸ ἐθνικὸν Βατανεῶται.
