in Ancient Geography, the largest mountain of Asia (Strabo); and a part of Taurus (Pliny); from which the whole of India runs off into a vast plain, resembling Egypt. It extends far and wide through Scythia, as far as to the Mare Glaciale, dividing it into the Hither or Scythia intra Imaum, and into the Farther, or Scythia extra Imaum (Ptolemy); and also stretching out along the north of India to the eastern ocean, separates it from Scythia. It had various names according to the different countries it run through: Pufellus thinks it is the Sephar of Scripture.
