Licias

Λικίας

Licias, LICUS (Λικίας:: Lech), a small river in Vindelicia. (Ptol. 2.12.2, 13.1; Ven. Fort. Vit. S. Mart. 4.641.) It assumed the modern form of its name as early as the time of the Lombards (Paul. Diac. Longob. 2.13.) Its only tributary of any note was the Virdo or Vindo. It has its sources in the Alps, and, flowing in a northern direction, empties itself into the Danube, not far from Drusomagus.
