in Ancient Geography, a river of Belgica, rising in Mount Vogefus on the borders of the Lingones, and which, after receiving a part of the Rhine called Vahalis, forms the island of the Batavi, and passes off into the sea, at the distance of 80 miles. Now called the Moëze, or Meuse; rising in Champagne, on the borders of the county of Burgundy, or Franche Comté, at a village called Meyse, whence the appellation; and running north through Lorraine and Champagne into the Netherlands: it afterwards directs its course north-east and then west; and joining the Waal, runs to Dort, and falls into the German sea, a little below the Briel.
