Volume 17 · 56 words · 1810 Edition

or CISSUM, in Ancient Geography, a town of the Hither Spain, in Lacetania, on the east side of the Iberus, (thought to be Guifiona) where the Carthaginians were first defeated by Scipio. Another Ciffa of Thrace, situated on the river Ægos Potamus, which Scylax seems to call Creffa, or Griffo; so that the reading is doubtful.
