LI´MYRUS(ὁ Λίμυρος), a river on the south coast of Lycia, which, after receiving the waters of its tributary Arycandus ( Fineka), becomes navigable at the point where Limyra is situated. It falls into the sea, at a distance of 90 stadia west of the holy promontory, and 60 stadia from Melanippe. (Scyl. p. 39; Strab. 14. p. 666; Ptol. 5.3.3.) Pliny (Plin. Nat. 5.28) and Mela (1.15) call the river Limyra, and the Stadiasmus Maris Magni ( § 211) Almyrus, which is no doubt a mistake. Leake (Asia Minor, p. 187) states that both the Limyrus and the Arycandus reach the sea at no great distance from each other; while in the map of Lycia by Spratt, the Limyrus is the smaller river, and a tributary to the Arycandus. Both these statements are opposed to the testimony of Pliny, whose words are: Limyra cum amne in quem Arycandus influit.[L, S.]
