Syrian capital (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

damascus

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">syrian capital</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(capital of Syria)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for damascus that I've seen before include "Capital of Syria" , "ancient city" , "St Paul was converted on the road to this Syrian city" , "capital city" , "Syrian capital" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Guardian, The Times, the Irish Times (Simplex) and the Sydney Morning Herald.
