anciently IBERUS, a large river of Spain, which, taking its rise in Old Castile, runs through Bilcay and Arragon, passes by Saragossa, and, continuing its course through Catalonia, discharges itself with great rapidity into the Mediterranean, about 20 miles below the city of Tortosa.

EBUDÆ, or HEBUDES, in Ancient Geography, islands on the west of Scotland. The ancients differ greatly as to their situation, number, and names; said in general to lie in the north of Ireland and west of Scotland. Now called the Western Isles, also Hebrides; this last a modern name, the reason of which does not appear, unless it be a corruption of Hebudes. By Beda called Mewunie, an appellation equally obscure.
