'Having achieved by far greater deeds than the earlier kings, he (Ninos) hurried to build such a big city than not only it would be the largest of the then existing ones in the inhabited world, but also that is would not be easy for any antecessors to surpass him. Honoring the king of Arabia with gifts and magnificent spoils of war, he dismissed him and his army to their own country, and after gathering his forces and the necessary material from everywhere, he founded on Euphrates (Tigris) river a city well fortified with walls, having rectangular form.' From Diodoros' of Sicily Library of History. Book 2:3(3).
