HERA´TEMIS
HERA´TEMIS (
Ἡρύτεμις,
Arrian Ind. chap. 39), a canal in Persis, mentioned by Arrian as cut from a larger river at no great distance.
This river was probably the Padargus mentioned in the same chapter by the Greek historian.
The canal terminated at the sea; but we are not aware that any traces of it now remain, unless the
Khore-esseri of D'Anville's map represents it, which is possible.
