Origin

Arrian[1] writes that the Thebes had revolted against Alexander the Great in September, B.C. 335[2]. The Thebes were defeated and destroyed by Alexander. The inhabitants of Thebes were known as Thebans. Thebes was an ancient Egyptian city located east of the Nile about 800 kms south of the Mediterranean. It was the site of present Luxor. Theba and Thebad found in Jat clans appears to be a variant of Theban.

Mention by Pliny

Pliny[3] mentions Mesopotamia .... Leaving that city and going eastward, we come to Caphrena, a fortified town, formerly seventy stadia in extent, and called the "Court of the Satraps." It was to this place that the tribute was conveyed; now it is reduced to a mere fortress. Thæbata is still in the same state as formerly: after which comes Oruros, which under Pompeius Magnus formed the extreme limit of the Roman Empire, distant from Zeugma two hundred and fifty miles.
