BUMADUS
BUMADUS (
Βουμώδος, Arrian, 3.8;
Curt. 4.9;
Βουμήλος, Arrian, 6.11), a small stream in Assyria about sixty stadia from Arbela.
The name is met with in the MSS. with various spellings--Bumadus, Bumodus, Bumelus, Bumolus.
It is said (Forbiger,
Handbuch, vol. ii. p. 608) to be now called the
Khazir. Tavernier (2.100.5.) states that he met with a stream called the
Bohrus, which, he thinks, may be identified with it.
