The Tanais is of course the Don; H. has once more trustworthy information, no doubt derived from the ‘emporium called Cremni’ (20. 1). The Tanais flows from a small lake; it is more probable, however, that H.'s ‘great lake’ is due to a general theory of lake origin (46 n.) than to definite information.

The Hyrgis is probably the Donetz; in 123. 3 it is called Syrgis, and runs direct into the Palus Maeotis.
