Possibly present day Qarshi; Encyclopaedia Metropolitana: Or Universal Dictionary of Knowledge, Volume 23, ed. by Edward Smedley, Hugh James Rose, Henry John Rose, 1923, p. 260: "Eucratidia, named from its ruler, (Strabo, xi. p. 516.) was, according to Ptolemy, 2° North and 1° West of Bactra." As these coordinates are relative to, and close to, Bactra, it is reasonable to disregard the imprecision in Ptolemy's coordinates and accept them without adjustment. If the coordinates for Bactra are taken to be 36°45′B66°55′Đ / 36,75°B 66,917°Đ / 36.750; 66.917, then the coordinates 38°45′B65°55′Đ / 38,75°B 65,917°Đ / 38.750; 65.917 can be seen to be close to the modern day city of Qarshi.
