[edit]The article fails to mention that the former govermnent under Saddam and his predecessor Ahmad Hassan Al-Bakr ordered the building of the Qadissiyah dam on the Euphraetes river downstream of Anah. This resulted in the creation of a lake that caused massive destruction to Anah.

[edit]Is usually fine but this passage
Ammianus<ref>lib. 24, c. 2.</ref> calls it a ''munimentum'', [[Theophylactus Simocatta]]<ref>iv. 10, v. 1, 2.</ref> ''to 'Anathon frourion'', [[Zosimus]]<ref>iii. 14.</ref> a ''frourion'', opp. Fathusai, which may be the Beth(th) ina of Ptolemy (v. 19).<ref>Steph. Byz. (sub Turos) says that [[Arrian]] calls Anatha Turos.</ref>
needs to have all of the Latin and transliterated Greek translated and explained prior to inclusion. — LlywelynII 04:38, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
Fwiw, the actual Greek is τό Άναθων φρούριον, tó Anathōn phroúrion and φρούριον, phroúrion and Φαθυσαι, psathysai. — LlywelynII 04:40, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
