ERIGON
ERIGON (
Ἐριγώυ, Strab. vii. pp. 327, 330;
Ἐρείγων,
Ptol. 3.13.8), the great W. branch of the river Axius, which, having its source in the Paeonian mountains, took a NE. course till its junction with the main stream at no great distance from Stobi. (
Liv. 39.53.)
It is now called by the Bulgarians
Zrna Rjeka, and by the Turks
Kutjuk Kará--Su. (Comp. Leake,
Northern Greece, vol. iii. pp. 268, 275.)
The geography of the basin of
[p. 1.850]this river is so imperfectly known that its course cannot be traced.
