Reply To: ??????? ?????? ????? ????? ??????; But do we know what ???? is?

My main question is not whether ???? is the whole country of ??? ????? or not. That was a side point. My main question is whether ???? is the city we call ??????? or the ?? ????/??? ????? and which ??????? was. The city is called both names and the ??? ????? /???? ????? also by both. They are both refered to one after the other in various ??????, but what are they and why the changes?

(Another example in “????? ???? ???? ???? ???? “???? ???????? we distinctly refer to both as separate entities.)
