Xylinepolis
Introduction '''Xylinepolis''' or '''Xylenopolis''' (, meaning: wooden city/town) was a temporary military fortress (''phrourion'') in the naval base of Patala, founded in 325 BC by Alexander the Great.It is mentioned by Pliny the Elder.Nearchus (the admiral of Alexander) remained four months in the city before starting his voyage.On the other hand, William Woodthorpe Tarn wrote that the town was a mistake at the transliteration of Pliny and in reality it was not built by Alexander but it was a native Indian place built of wood instead of brick.
