Texts from the Church of the East's synods referred to the city as Salīq (Syriac: ܣܠܝܩ‎)[1] or some times Māḥôzē (Syriac: ܡܚܘܙ̈ܐ‎) when referring to the metropolis of Seleucia-Ctesiphon. Seleucia, as such, was founded in about 305 BC,[citation needed] when an earlier city was enlarged and dedicated as the first capital of the Seleucid Empire by Seleucus I Nicator.
