Ganzak

Ganzak (Persian: گنزک Ganzak, Greek: Γάζακα Gazaka, Latin: Gaza, Gazaca, Ganzaga, Arabic: جانزاك Janzaq, جازنا Jazna, Armenian: Գանձակ Gandzak), is an ancient town founded in northwestern Iran. The city stood somewhere south of Lake Urmia, and it has been postulated that the Persian nobleman Atropates chose the city as his capital.^[1] The exact location, according to Minorsky, Schippmann, and Boyce, is identified as being the ruins (37.011555°N, 46.193187°E) at Leylan, Malekan County in the Miandoab plain.^[1]^[2]
