What do you mean it sounds like a variation of the word Alexandros Caxurnias? What is the connection between them?

| I'm not realy sure my friend ...I suppose that since the Persians named Alexander Iskender some other tribe might of altered the name in Caxurnias ...I'm only suggesting a sound variation like the turks made with Istambul (εις την πόλη).

Where do you remember seeing this word? What is the context in which it was found? Presumably it features somewhere in the Alexander epic??? More information will help. |
