A´RTAMIS
A´RTAMIS (
Ἄρταμις,
Ptol. 6.11. § § 2, 3; Artamis,
Amm. Marc. 23.6), a river of Bactria, which flowed into the Zariaspis (or river of
Balkh). Wilson (
Ariana, p. 162) conjectures that it is the
Dakash, which flows NE. in the direction of
Balkth. The name itself is probably of Persian origin.
