Lamus

LAMUS(Λάμος), a village of Cilicia, at the mouth of the river Lamus, from which the whole district derived the name of Lamotis. The river is mentioned by Stephanus B. (from Alexander Polyhistor), and both the river and the village by Strabo (14. p. 671) and Ptolemy (Ptol. 5.8. § § 4, 6). The river, which is otherwise of no importance, formed the boundary between Cilicia Aspera and Cilicia Propria, and still bears the name of Lamasor Lamuzo. About the village of Lamus no particulars are known. (Comp. Nonnus, Dionys. 24.50; Hierocl. p. 709.)
