Maogamalcha
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maogamalcha was a place in Mesopotamia, attacked and taken by Julian. (Ammianus xxiv. 4.) It was distant about 90 stadia from Ctesiphon. (Zosim. iii. 21.) It appears to have been strongly fortified and well defended. Zosimus evidently alludes to the same place (l. c.), though he does not mention it by name.
