Etymology
[edit]Uncertain. Attested in the Records of the Great Historian (《史記·大宛列傳》), Book of Han (《漢書·西域傳》), Book of the Later Han (《後漢書·西域傳》), etc. as the name of a state, city, or region in the "Western Regions" (西域, historical locations in Central and Western Asia). Pulleyblank (1999) derives the name from Ancient Greek Σελεύκεια (Seleúkeia, “Seleucia”) and considers the possibility of reconstructed Old Chinese 條 (OC *l'ɯːw) with initial *sl- rather than simply *l-, as in 修 (OC *slɯw).
