English term or phrase:如何翻译成汉语合适呢？
Occupying roughly the territory of present-day Iran and the immediately surrounding area, the ancient Persians were an Indo-European tribe that came into contact with India to the east, Russia and the Slavic tribes to the north, and Arabia and the Middle East to the west.
上面这句话中，Occupying roughly the territory of present-day Iran and the immediately surrounding area 部分不知如何翻译，请各位多多指教。非常感谢。
Persians were the people that "occupied" these lands.
But in fact it should be "ruled" because some form sustained government existed... occupation has implicit connotations for being temporary, unwanted, or hostile.
