Pasar'gadæ, one of the most ancient cities of the Persians, containing a palace and great treasures, was in the province of Persis, and stood in a plain surrounded by mountains, on the river Cyrus. It is identified with ruins near the modern Murghab, north-east of ancient Persepolis, and 70 miles north-east of the modern Shiraz.
