Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography

CAMBY´SES( Yorior Gori), a river of Albania, rising in the Caucasus, or, according to Mela, in the Coraxici M., flowing through the district of Cambysene, and falling into the Cyrus ( Kur), after uniting with the Alazonius ( Alasan). Pompey marched along its banks, on his expedition into these regions in pursuit of Mithridates, B.C. 65. Its water was remarkable for its coldness. (Mel. 3.5.6; Plin. 6.13. s. 15 ; Dio Cass.; Epit.
