TORNADOTUS
TORNADOTUS a small river of Assyria, mentioned by Pliny (
6.27. s. 31), and a tributary of the Tigris.
It is probably the same stream as that noticed by Xenophon under the name of the Physcus. (
Anab. 2.4.25.)
It may be the modern
Torna or
Odorneh. Mannert (6.2. p. 317) takes it to be the same as the Adiabas of Ammianus (23.6); but the Adiabas is more likely to be that elsewhere called the Zabatus (now
Záb).
