The town was founded by Alexander the Great during an intermediate stop between Herat, the location of another of Alexander's fortresses, and Kandahar.[2][3] and is mentioned by Strabo,[4] Pliny,[5] Ammianus Marcellinus,[6] Isidore of Charax[7] and Pseudo-Plutarch[8] Alexander the Great, arrived in Drangiana in November 330BC on his way to Kandahar, and found a well-organized province of the Achaemenid empire.[9][10] Alexander appointed a new satrap, Arsames, and renamed the capital city as Prophthasia, (Anticipation), because Alexander had here discovered a conspiracy against his life, organized by his companion Philotas. The 1578 world map which Mercator constructed from Ptolemy's map shows the city some distance to the north of the Zaranji lakes. Similarly the 13th century copy of the 4th century Peutinger Map shows Zaranj and Prophthasia as distinct locations. See also
