English term or phrase: Cyrene
Greetings,

I mean the "Athens of Africa".

Please see
http://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/شحات

The reason I give the Arabic version is that it is particularly rich in alternative names, and may be of referential use.

Best wishes, and many thanks,

کرینا
Explanation:
Today کرینا is a historical site located near the city of شحات in Libya (refer to the first link). But when I searched it in the Bible, I found something amazing; "Cyrene" is appeared in Mark 15:21. In the Persian translation I have, it's translated as قیروان, but when I searched قیروان, amazingly I found that it's a city in Tunisia!

شهر تاريخي سيرن (Cyrene) در كشور ليبي، يكي از غني‌ترين و زيباترين شهرهاي تاريخي جهان است. اين شهر كه حدود 2400 سال پيش بنا نهاده شده، شهري زيباست كه آثاري را از سه تمدن مصر باستان، رم باستان و يونان باستان در خود جا داده است.

او در قورینا (یا سیرن٬ در کشور لیبی امروزی) چشم بجهان گشود. اولین کسی بود که توانست محیط زمین را با استفاده از تفاوت زاویه تابش خورشید در اسکندریه و آتن بدست آورد.
