in Ancient Geography, a river of Ionia;

which rising near Doryleum, a town of Phrygia, in a mountain sacred to Dindymene or Cybele, touched Mylia, and ran through the Regio Combusita, then through the plains of Smyrna down to the sea, carrying along with it the Pactolus, Hyllus, and other less noble rivers. Its waters were said, by Virgil and other poets, to roll down gold.
