More recent analysis has brought into doubt this event.
See, David McDonald, "Dating the Fall of Dura-Europos", Historia: Zeitschrift für Alte Geschichte, V.35/1 (1986), pp.45–68.

McDonald, 1986, p.68, prefers 257 as the fall, based on the lateness in the year of the issue from the mint of the coins found at Dura which provided the year 256.
He also argues that a garrison of Sassanid forces probably remained in the city for perhaps a year after the locals had been deported.
