It itill retains its ancient epithet, being now called Kalin acron, or the Black cape. Its ditance from the Rhebas, as here laid down, agrees with modern maps, it being in the latter 18 Englih miles, which differs only a fraction of a mile from Arrian's computation. It is put down in the Peutingerian Tables, as 25 miles from the temple of Jupiter Urius; but, according to Arrian, it is 240 tadia, or 30 Greek miles.

From Aera Melaena to Artanes 150 tadia. Some think that this was a fortres, not a river. Ptolemy calls it. D'Anville adds a river, and there is one about this ditance in the modern maps. It is et down in the Peutingerian Tables under the name of Artane, and is placed at the diiance of nineteen miles from Acra Melæna, which is as near as poible to Arriarfs calculation of 150 tadia.

From Artanes to Pilis 150 tadia. This eems to be mentioned by Ptolemy, but the text is corrupted, or doubtful; and it is uncertain whether the Pilis or the Rhebas be meant, and the longitude indicates that the latter was undertood. A place or tage called Philium is put down in the Peutingerian Tables, at the ditance of 10 miles from Artanes, which agrees o nearly with the interval aigned by Arrian, that there is little doubt that the ame place is meant by both. The mouth of this river is tioned
