SEPULCHRUM EURIPIDIS(Ammian. 27.4.8; comp. Gell. 15.20; Plut. Lycurg. 36;Vitr. 8.3; Plin. Nat. 31.19; Itin. Hierosol.), the remarkable monument erected to Euripides in Macedonia, at the narrow gorge of Aulon or Arethusa ( Besíkiaor Rumilí Bóghazi), where the mountains close upon the road. The ancients (Vitruvius, l. c.;Plin. l. c.) placed it at the confluence of two streams, of which the water of one was poisonous, the other so sweet and health-giving that travellers were wont to halt and take their meals by its currents. In the Jerusalem Itinerary, a document as late as the 13th century, it occurs as a station between Pennana and Apollonia. (Comp. Clarke's Travels, vol. viii. pp. 9—13.)
