Xerxene

Xerxēnē ou Derzēnē, ēs, f. , la Xerxène ou Derzène, contrée dʼArménie : Plin. 5, 83.

XERXENE

XERXE´NE (Ξερξηνή, Strab. 11. p. 528), a district on the Euphrates, in the NW. part of Armenia, more properly, however, belonging to Cappadocia. It is called Derxene by Pliny (Plin. Nat. 5.24. s. 20), and this perhaps is the more correct name. (Cf. Ritter, Erdk. 10. p. 769.)
