Some older geographical dictionaries and descriptions of modern Eastern Europe mention "Czernobol" (Chernobyl) with reference to Ptolemy's world map (2nd century CE). Czernobol is identified as ], "oppidium Sarmatiae" (Lat., "a city in Sarmatia"), by the 1605 "Lexicon geographicum" of Filippo Ferrari and the 1677 "Lexicon Universale" of Johann Jakob Hofmann. According to the "Dictionary of Ancient Geography" of Alexander Macbean (London, 1773), Azagarium is "a town of Sarmatia Europaea, on the Borysthenes" (Dnieper), 36° East longitude and 50°40' latitude. The city is "now supposed to be "Czernobol", a town of Poland, in Red Russia [Red Ruthenia], in the Palatinate of Kiow Kiev Voivodeship, not far from the Borysthenes."
