Hello everybody

Can anyone help with classic greek names for following towns:

present day Cairo (I guess just Memphis will do)
Tripoli (Libyan)
Basra (present day Iraq), used to be called arax spasinou... more less.

I would need this names to be written in classical greek... or sources where I could find that information.

Thanks very much.

AS

Cairo and Basra were found by Muslims after Islam but Tripoli is older than them, this is a Greek name which means "Three Cities", of course the original city with this name is located at Lebanon, not Libya.
