  5. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 Summarized in the supporting material on the website, but not given in Morris's published text (p. 632).
  6. The date that the population of Beidha, Basta and چاتالہویوک is estimated to be 1,000 is given as 7500 قبل مسیح in Morris's published text (p. 632).
  7. 1 2 3 Suggested to be the largest cities in Modelski's text, but not given constantly prior to 3700 قبل مسیح (p. 3, p. 17, and p. 20). No entry is suggested for the Halafian and Ubaid periods.
  8. A Pre-Pottery Neolithic B settlement located ca. 25 km north of Petra.
  9. The rough year that چاتالہویوک was supposed to be the largest is not given in Modelski's text which cites Ian Hodder's report (p. 3 and p. 17). The year 6500 قبل مسیح is based on the recent report by Hodder (Inhabiting چاتالہویوک: Reports from the 1995-99 Seasons (چاتالہویوک Research Project), Cambridge, UK: McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, 2005.) where less inhabitants (1,500 to 2,000) are suggested by Craig Cessford (pp. 323-326).
  10. The date that the population of چاتالہویوک is estimated to be 3,000 is given as 6500 قبل مسیح in Morris's published text (p. 632).
  11. 1 2 3 Suggested to be housing up to 10,000 people in Modelski's text (pp. 24–25), but only اریدو is listed as the largest city in Table 2 (a) (p. 22). The estimate is based on the author's personal communication with Mikhail Videiko, Institute of Archaeology, Kiev, October 2002 (p. 75). The previous estimates by S. I. Kruts for مایدانتس and تالیانکی are 8,000 (1,575 housed within 270 ha) and 14,000 (2,700 houses within 450 ha), respectively (Pitskhelauri, K. N., and Chernykh, E. N. Eds., Kavkaz v sisteme paleometallicheskikh kultur Evrazii, Metsniereba, Tbilisi, 1989, pp. 146–156.).
  12. Suggested to be more than 45,000 in Morris's published text (p. 632).
  13. 1 2 According to Modelski's list of world's largest cities (p. 218), Nippur shares the top with Lagash with 60,000 inhabitants in 2500 قبل مسیح, though Table 2 (b) suggests that the population of Nippur is 20,000, the value of which is even lower than those estimated for Mari (50,000); ورکاء and Umma (40,000); ممفس, عبیل, Urkesh, and Shuruppak (30,000) (p. 28).
  14. 1 2 3 4 Girsu (Telloh), the later capital of the state of Lagash, was situated 25 km NW of Lagash (Tell al Hiba), though both sites are frequently referred as Lagash.
  15. 1 2 According to Modelski's list of world's largest cities (p. 218), Girsu shares the top with Mari with 50,000 inhabitants, though Table 2 (b) suggests that the population of Girsu as well as Umma and Mohenjo-daro is 40,000 (p. 28).

  21. 1 2 3 4 The palace of Pi-Ramses (Qantir) was founded 2 km NE of Avaris (or Hawaret, Tell el-Dab'a), the residential area of which overlaps.
  22. 1 2 3 4 5 When the city first passed 100,000, suggested by Richard Forstall (pp. 541-542).
  23. 1 2 According to Chandler's list of the largest cities (pp. 523-527), طيبہ was the largest for 1400-668 قبل مسیح, but ممفس was also supposed to be somewhat larger during 1205-1188 (p. 94, p. 460).

  25. 1 2 Modelski's list of the world's largest cities treats طيبہ and Haojing as the top cities with 100,000 inhabitants (p. 218), though the same list on the next page (p. 219) as well as Table 2 (c) place the population of طيبہ at 120,000, while that for Haojing as well as ممفس and بابل at 100,000 (pp. 33-34).
  26. 1 2 3 Chandler listed طيبہ, Haojing, and Chengzhou (Luoyang) as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd largest cities (p. 460), though Luoyang is supposed to pass 100,000 in 1000 قبل مسیح (p. 541).

  28. 1 2 3 4 Chengzhou was founded on the east side of the Luo river with Wangzheng on the west side. Both cities were later annexed to form Luoyi (Luoyang), the center of which has often shifted.
  29. According to Modelski's list of world's largest cities (p. 219), the population of بابل for 700 قبل مسیح is estimated as 120,000, which makes بابل the only city to appear as the largest, while Table 8 (a) shows that بابل has 100,000 inhabitants in 700 قبل مسیح (p. 55).
  30. Modelski's list of world's largest cities (p. 219) excludes Linzi for 500 قبل مسیح, though Table 5 (a) lists Linzi with 200,000 inhabitants (p. 41).

  32. 1 2 According to Chandler's list of the largest cities (pp. 523-527), Pataliputra was the largest for 300 to 195 قبل مسیح, but Chang'an is listed as the largest already in 200 قبل مسیح (p. 462).

  34. 1 2 Seleucia was supposed to stand first briefly just after Antiochus IV overran part of مصر in 170 قبل مسیح, though the precise year Chang'an recovered the lead is not given in Chandler and Fox's list (pp. 362-364).
  35. The population of روم in AD 200 is estimated at 800,000 in Morris's published text (p. 632), while the supporting material describes 1,000,000.
  36. The population of روم in AD 400 is estimated at 500,000 in Morris's published text (p. 632), while the supporting material describes 800,000.

  38. 1 2 3 Although Chandler and Fox presumed that بغداد was the world's largest city from 775 to 935 (p. 363), Chang'an is still listed as the largest in the year 800 (p. 306).

  40. 1 2 3 4 Although کائفینگ is obscurely treated as the most populous city until 1160 (p. 363), کائفینگ is ranked as the fifth largest city with 175,000 people in 1150, while قسطنطنیہ is listed as the largest city (p. 310). Surely Chandler and Fox have mistakenly omitted the statement that قسطنطنیہ is briefly the largest after the fall of کائفینگ to the Jurchens.
