HIRROS
HIRROS a river of Asiatic, Sarmatia, with a
[p. 1.1074]town of the same name, 136 M. P. from Heracleum, and 67 M. P. from Sindica (
Plin. Nat. 6.5).
It is, probably, the same place as the HIEROS PORTUS of the Periplus, which Rennell (
Compar. Geog. vol. ii. p. 325) identifies with the deep inlet or small gulf of
Sunjuk-kala in the Russian chart.
