DARA(Δάρα, Ptol. 6.8.4).
1. A small river of Carmania, at no great distance from the frontier of Persis. There can be little doubt that it is the same as the Dora of Marcian ( Peripl. p. 21) and the Daras of Pliny (Plin. Nat. 6.25. s. 28). Dr. Vincent conjectures ( Voyage of Nearchus, vol. 1. p. 372) that it is the same as the Dara-binor Derra-binof modern charts.
2. A city in Parthia. [APAVARCTICENE]
3. A city in Mesopotamia. [DARAS] [V]
