THAPSACUS, a famous City upon the Euphrates, where they passed over this River to go from Mesopotamia into Arabia Deserta, or back again. It is not far from the Mouth of Chaboras, where it empties itself into the Euphrates. The ancient Geographers have talked much of it. It appears to us, by the Course that the Kings of Assyria observed in coming towards Palestine, that they must pass the Euphrates at Thapsacus.
