 ado. ERINEIA. tills riref ib so imperfBctly known that its oonne otnnot be traced. [£. B. J.] ERINEIA (JEpiv€ia), a town m Megaris, in which was a monnment of AatoooS, dani^hter of Cadmus. As it appears to have stood inknd en ^e northern part of the isthmus, Leake places it at KundurcL (Pans, i 44. § 5 ; Leake, Northam Greece^ vol. iL p. 408.) ERFNEUS or ERrXEUM. I. C^n6s, 'Epi- vtdv: Eth. 'Ef)tyc<iTi|s/Epiycc^s), one of the towns of the tetrapolis of Doris, described bj Strabo as lying below the town of Pindus : it probably stood upon the river of the latter name. (Strab. viiL p. 862, ix. p. 427; Thuc. i. 107; Scymn. Ch. 591; PtoL iii. 15. § 15; Steph. B. t. v.; TzeU. ad Lgcophr. 741; Schol. ad Find. Ptfth, I 121; Mel. ii. 3; Plin. iv. 7. B. 18; Leake, Northern Greeeej toL ii. p. 91, seq.) 2. CE^vcJy), a town of Phthiotis m Thessaly, mentioned only by Straba Its site is uncertain, but Leake coiyectures that the remains on the left bank of the Enipeus near KoUobcuhi may be those of Erinenm. (Strab. ix. p. 4S4; Leake, Northern Greece^ vol. iv. pw 471). 3. The sea-port of Rhypes in Achaia. [Rhypbs.] ERI'NEUS C^iycitr), a small river on the £. coast of Sicily, between Syracuse and Helorum. It b mentioned by Thucydides (vii. SO, S2), from whom we learn that It was the second river crossed by the Athenians in their disastrous retreat from Syracuse, and intermediate between the Gacyparis and Asi- narus. Hence it can be no other than the small stream now called the Miranda^ which flows into the aea just to the N. of the modem town of Avoloj and is hence frequently called Fwme di Avola. It is distant about 6 miles from the Cacyparis (CVunUK), and the same distance from the Asinarus {Ftd- conara). (Smyth's 5ici/y, p. 176; Cluver. ^iicti. p. 184.) It is evidently the same river which is called iy Ptolemy (iii. 4. § 8.) "Opuw or^Epuvs. [£. H.B.} ERISANE. [LoBETANi.] ERI'TIUM, a town of Perrhaebia In Thessaly, appears to have been near Gyretiae, since it was taken idong with the latter town by M Baebius in B. c. 191. (Liv. xxxvi. 13.) Leake pUujes it at PaledkattrOj a vilk^e above Sghidj on the left bank of the VurgarUt a river of Tripolitis. In the church of St. George, which occupies the site of the ancient Cyretiae, Leake noticed an inscribed stone, on which the name of ApoUodorus is followed by a word beginning EPH, which he conjectures with much probability may be the place called Eritium by Livy. (Leake, Northern Greece^ voL iv. pp. 310, 313). ERIZA (ra''E/>iCa: Eth, 'JLfninv6i), The Ro- man general Gn. Manlius, after reaching the river Ghaus [Ghaub], came to Eriza, a city which he took by assault. Livy (xxxviii. 14) does not say what was the time of the march frxnn the Ghaus to Eriza; but his narrative shows that Exiza was be- tween the Ghaus and the Indus. The Erizell oi Ptolemy (v. 2), it is supposed by some critics, are the Erizeni, and that the name should be written so; but Ptolemy's Erizeli are in a difierent phice. Pliny (x. 43) speaks of a "regie Erizena'' in Asia, by which he means the province of Asia. The ethnic name Erizeni appears on a rare medal, which also contains the name KAOC — the river Ghaus. We need not infer from this that Eriza was on the Ghaus, because there are many instances of towns being thus des'gnated, though they were several miles dis- ERTMANTHUS. tant from the river. Eriza became a town of cqpal rank. [G. L.] ERIZEXI. [Eriza.] ERNA6INUM ( VoT'^^Oi » pl«»d bjPtekniJ (ii. 10) among the towns of the Salyea in GaDaa Narbonensis. In the Itins. it is the first atataon bem Arebte {ArUt). Though the distaaeea in tha Itins. do not quite agree, the site of the place aeens to be 5t. Gabritl D'Anville sUtes that a nmiUe has been f jund at SL Gabriel with the inecripCiaB Eonginenses. SL Gabriel is a hamlet on the raid fixm Arlee to T<uratcan. [G, L.] ERNODU'RUM, a town m Gallia, whidi tin Aa^ tonine Itin. places on a road from Burdigala (Bvr- deaux) to Augustodunum {Auttm). The road paasea through Avaricum {Bourgee); and 13 Gallic leagasa from Bowrgee^ on the Bordetwx aide of Bcearyee, was Emodurum. The next place to £iiiodiini]ii,<H the Bordeaux side, is Argentomagns. Tbe pboa was called Emotorum in the middle ages. Tbe ter- mination " durum " indicates a river, and the aite o£ Emodurum is fixed at SL Ambroitey at the peasap of the river Amon^ a branch of the Char, [G. L.] ERO^GHUS (%p9»xos)t a Phocian townydeatroyBd by the army of Xerxes. Its position is uioertttB. (Herod. viiL .33.) ERPEDITANI, in Ireland, another name of the Erdim. [Erdihi.] [&G.L.] ERU'BRUS, is a small branch of the Mofidh* mentioned by Ausonius {MoeeOOf 359): — The Erubrus is the JSimmt, a small stream that flows into the Jlfoie^ a little below Trier. [G, L.] ERYMANDRUS or ERYMANTHUS (*E^ MtU^/wT, Arrian, Anab. iv. 6 ; *Epv/«d(rdo5, PolyU xL 32; Plin. vi. 23. s. 25 ; Gnrt vuL 9. § 20), the principal rif^ of Drangiana, which rises in the lower range of the Paropamiban mountains, and, after flow- ing through Arachosia and Drangiana, enters the li£e Zarah. Its present name is Ilmend or BH" mend. The name of the river is not given by Pto- lemy. M. Bumouf has supposed it to be the Ara- chotus; but Professor Wilson believes the Aracbotns to have been one of the tributaries of the HehneDda and probably the modem Arhand-oL (WilsoDi Ariana^ pp. 156, 157.) Arrian supposed, inoor-. rectly, that it was lost in the sands; be places on its banks a tribe called Eneigitae, whom Professor Wil- son suspects are really the Agriaspae. The modon river is described by Pottinger in his tiav^ in Babichtetan. It appears to be of great size, and carries down with it a great body of water. (Pot- tinger, Baktchietan, ^ 405.) [V.] ERYMANTHUS pSfVfuiMs}, a lofty iai«e of mountains on the frontiers of Arcadia, Adhaia, and Elis. It foraoed the western point of the northeni barrier of Arcadia; and Mt Lampeia, which extends southwards, is a portion of the range. The two principal heights are now called OUmoe and JToie- fom, Uie former being 7297 feet above the level of tbe sea, and the ktter 6227 feet. From Eiyman- thus four rivers rise, — the Eleian Peneins, the Arcadian Eiymanthus, and the Peims and SeUnna of Achaia. The river Erymanthos, which is a tributary of the Achelons, is spoken of under the latter name. [Achklous.] Mount Erymanthus is celebrated in mythology as the haunt of the ficmi boar -destroyed by Hercules. (Strab. viiL pp. 343^ 357; Pans. v. 7. § 1, viiL 24. § 4, seq.; Horn.
