SAGANUS
SAGANUS (
Σαγανός, Marcian,
Peripl. p. 21., ed. Hudson), a small river on the coast of Carmania, about 200 stadia from Harmuza.
It is mentioned also by Ptolemy (
6.8.4), and Pliny (
6.25).
It is probably the same stream which is called by Ammianus Marcellinus, Saganis (23.6). Vincent thinks that it may be represented by a small river which flows into the
Persian Gulf, near
Gomeroon. (
Voy. of Nearchus, vol. i. p. 370).
