CAMBY´SES
CAMBY´SES (
Yori or
Gori), a river of Albania, rising in the Caucasus, or, according to Mela, in the Coraxici M., flowing through the district of Cambysene, and falling into the Cyrus (
Kur), after uniting with the Alazonius (
Alasan). Pompey marched along its banks, on his expedition into these regions in pursuit of Mithridates, B.C. 65. Its water was remarkable for its coldness. (Mel. 3.5.6; Plin.
[p. 1.489]6.13. s. 15 ;
D. C. 37.3; Epit. Strab. ap. Hudson,
Geogr. Min. vol. ii. p. 148.)
