<p> <strong> HYDASPES </strong> . A river mentioned in Jdt 1:6 as on the Medo-Babylonian frontier. The name is probably the result of a confusion with the well-known [[Hydaspes]] in [[India]] (now the <em> Jatam </em> ). [[In]] view of the mythical character of the [[Book]] of Judith, speculation as to the identity of this river is likely to remain fruitless. However, there may be a suggestion in the fact that the Syr. version reads <strong> [[Ulai]] </strong> (wh. see). </p> <p> W. M. Nesbit. </p> | |||

<p> ( ῾Υδάσπης ), a river noticed in [[Judith]] 1, 6, in connection with the [[Euphrates]] and Tigris, mentioned by Arrian (Ind. 4) and [[Strabo]] (15, 697), which flowed westwards into the Indus, and is now called Jelam (Rawlinson, Herod. i, 558). The well-known [[Hydaspes]] of [[India]] is too remote to accord with the other localities noticed in the context. We may perhaps identify it with the Choaspes or Euloeus of Susiana, which was called Hydaspes by the [[Romans]] (Voss, ad Justin. ii, 14). </p> | |||
