Τέαρος. The river is identified (ib. pp. 44-5) as the confluence of the Bunardere and the Simerdere, in the latter part of which names ‘Tearus’ survives. Its ‘thirty-eight streams’ may roughly be made out, and their temperature varies, as H. describes; but they have lost their therapeutic reputation for ‘the scab’.

An inscription (91. 1) in cuneiform letters seems undoubtedly to have existed here till about 1830, but it has since perished (ib. p. 44).
