LI´LLIUM
LI´LLIUM or
LI´LEUM (
Λιλλιν,
Λιγεόν), a commercial place (emporium) on the coast of Bithynia, 40 stadia to the east of Dia; but no particulars are known about it. (Arrian,
Peripl. p. 13; Anonym.
Peripl. 3.)
It is possible that the place may have derived its name from the Lilaeus, which Pliny (
Plin. Nat. 5.43) mentions among the rivers of Bithynia.
