Symbra (Babylonia)

Symbra (Ancient Greek: Σύμβρα) was a small town in Babylonia mentioned by Zosimus as lying between two towns named Nisbara and Nischanaba, which are separated from each other by the Tigris River.^[1] William Smith identifies Symbra with Hucumbra, cited by Ammianus,^[2] which identification is accepted by the editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World.^[3]

Its site is unlocated, although Ukbara has been suggested as a probable location.^[3]
