See Zonus in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /ˈzo.nus/ [Classical-Latin], [ˈd̪͡z̪ɔnʊs̠] [Classical-Latin] Forms: Zonī [genitive], no-table-tags [table-tags], Zonus [nominative, singular], Zonī [genitive, singular], Zonō [dative, singular], Zonum [accusative, singular], Zonō [ablative, singular], Zone [singular, vocative]
Etymology: Since Pliny is quoting Eratosthenes, presumably borrowed from Ancient Greek. W. W. Tarn understands the term as a separate, native name of the Oxus, rather than a corruption of Ὦξος (Ôxos) itself, in which case it would ultimately be from a Central Asian language. Etymology templates: {{bor+|la|grc|-|nocap=1}} borrowed from Ancient Greek Head templates: {{la-proper noun|Zonus<2>}} Zonus m sg (genitive Zonī); second declension Inflection templates: {{la-ndecl|Zonus<2>}}
  1. (hapax) A river flowing into the Caspian Sea, mentioned by Pliny; perhaps an alternative name for the Oxus (modern Amu Darya) Wikipedia link: Eratosthenes, Oxus, William Woodthorpe Tarn Tags: declension-2, masculine, singular Categories (place): Rivers
