Editing Bushehr (section)

===Origins===
A number of alleged premodern references to Bushehr, including the first made by an [[Arab]] geographer in 1225, have been disputed as perhaps alluding to the modern city of [[Reishahr]], a harbor 10&nbsp;km to the south, where archaeological evidence points to the presence of a much older settlement.{{sfn|Perry|2017}} Reishahr is also most likely equivalent to the town of Mesambria, a place the [[Greeks]] knew since the campaign of [[Nearchus]] (died 300 BC), and which also has been occasionally identified with Bushehr.{{sfn|de Planhol|1990}}
