now the SARABAT or KEDOUS, in Ancient Geography, a river of Asia Minor, which, rising among the hills that separated Phrygia from Lydia, flowed due E. through the latter country, which it divided into two nearly equal parts, and fell into the Gulf of Smyrna. On its northern bank it received the Hyllus, and on its southern the Pactolus, both of which tributaries, like the river itself, were often celebrated by the poets of antiquity. In fact, all these streams derive their chief importance from their poetical associations.
