Ganzak (Persian: گنزکGanzak, Greek: ΓάζακαGazaka, Latin: Gaza, Gazaca, Ganzaga, Arabic: جانزاك Janzaq, جازنا Jazna, Armenian: ԳանձակGandzak), is an ancient town founded in northwestern Iran. The city stood somewhere south of Lake Urmia, and it has been postulated that the Persian nobleman Atropates chose the city as his capital.[1] The exact location, according to Minorsky, Schippmann, and Boyce, is identified as being the ruins (37.011555°N, 46.193187°E) at Leylan, Malekan County in the Miandoab plain.[1][2]
