CALLIRRHÖE, in Ancient Geography, furnished Ennaecurus, from its nine springs or channels; a fountain not far from Athens, greatly adorned by Pifitratus, where there were several wells, but this the only running spring. Callirhoe was also the name of a very fine spring of hot water beyond Jordan near the Dead sea, into which it empties itself.
