Persis (Greek: Περσίς, romanized: Persís; Old Persian: 𐎱𐎠𐎼𐎿, romanized: Parsa; Persian: پارس, romanized: Pârs),^[1] also called Persia proper, is the Fars region, located in southwest Iran, now a province. The Persians are thought to have initially migrated either from Central Asia or, more probably, from the north through the Caucasus.^[2] They would then have migrated to the current region of Persis in the early 1st millennium BC.^[2]
