Black numbers correspond to groups of formations and white numbers correspond to formations (click on picture for more information). A formation or geological formation is the fundamental unit of lithostratigraphy. A formation consists of a certain amount of rock strata that have a comparable lithology, facies or other similar properties. Formations are not defined by the thickness of their rock strata; therefore the thickness of different formations can vary widely. The concept of formally defined layers or strata is central to the geologic discipline of stratigraphy. Groups of strata are divi...

尼卡諾爾 (總督)

尼卡諾爾 (希臘語:Νικάνωρ),是一位馬其頓的優秀軍官,為安提柯下的米底總督,他可能與亞歷山大大帝的部將尼卡諾爾是同一個人 。 在前321年佩爾狄卡斯逝世,在特里帕拉迪蘇斯分封協議中他被任命為卡帕多細亞總督 [1] 。在安提柯與歐邁尼斯交戰時,尼卡諾爾附屬於安提柯之下。前316年伽比埃奈戰役後,桀驁不馴的銀盾兵同意向安提柯投降並交出歐邁尼斯等人,而尼卡諾爾負責前往接收歐邁尼斯等囚犯 [2] 。 在米底亞總督培松和其同黨被安提柯剷除後,安提柯任命尼卡諾爾為新任米底亞總督兼上部行省統帥,而這塊區域和其他東方行省通稱為上部行省(upper satrapies)。當前312年塞琉古占據巴比倫,因而爆發巴比倫戰爭。尼卡諾爾立即組織一支大軍前往討伐塞琉古,但在途經底格里斯河的路上遭到塞琉古奇襲,尼卡諾爾的大軍因而遭到塞琉古軍擊敗。隨後東方米底等各省都落入塞琉古手中。 尼卡諾爾在那場戰役後的結局不是很清楚,西西里的狄奧多羅斯記載尼卡諾爾從混戰中逃走,他逃入沙漠裏並從那裏寫信向安提柯尋求援助。然而阿庇安卻記載他在那場戰役中陣亡。總而言之,尼卡諾爾之後就沒在歷史中出現。.
