LEUCOGÆUS, in Ancient Geography, a hill situated between Pateoli and Neapolis in Campania, abounding in sulphur; now l'Alumera. Whence there were also springs called Leucogæi fontes; the waters of which, according to Pliny, gave a firmness to the teeth, clearness to the eyes, and proved a cure in wounds.
