1. （Ἴλιπα,Strab. iii. pp. 141, seq.; Ἰλλίπα ἢ Λαῖπα μεγάλη, Ptol. 2.4.13; Ilipa cognomine Illa, Plin. Nat. 3.1. s. 3, according to the corrupt reading which Sillig's last edition retains for want of a better: some give the epithet in tho form Ilpa:Harduin reads Ilia, on the authority of an inscription, which is almost certainly spurious, ap. Gruter, pp. 351,305, and Muratori, p. 1002), a city of the Turdetani, in Hispania Baetica, belonging to the conventus of Hispalis. It stood upon the right bank of the Baetis ( Guadalquivir), 700 stadia from its mouth, at the point up to which the river was navigable for vessels of small burthen, and where the tides were no longer discernible. [BAETIS] On this and other grounds it has been identified with the Roman ruins near Peñaflo. There were great silver mines in its neighbourhood. (Strab. l. c.,and pp. 174, 175; Plin. l. c.; Itin.
