Nymphaeus
Νύμφιος
Nymphaeus (Amm. Marc. 18.9.3; Νύμφιος, Procop. B. P. 1.8, 21; Suidas, s. v.), an affluent of the Tigris, 240 stadia from Amida, and the boundary between the Roman and the Persian empires. Bitter (Erdkunde, vol. x. p. 98) identifies it with the Zibeneh Sú. (London Geog. Journ. vol. x. p. 363; comp. St. Martin, Mém. sur l'Armenie, vol. i. p. 166; Le Beau, Bas Empire, vol. v. p. 248.)
