BAZI´RA
BAZI´RA (
τὰ Βάζιρα) or BEZI´RA, a fort of the Assaceni, at the S. foot of M. Paropamisus, taken by Alexander on his march into India. (Arrian,
Arr. Anab. 4.27,
28;
Curt. 8.10.2.)
It is usually identified with
Bajore or
Bishore, NW. of
Peshawer; but it is by no means certain that this is the true site.
