OENOLADON
OENOLADON (
Οἰνολάδων,
Stadiasm. § 96), a river in the district of the African Syrtes, near the town of AMARAEA (
Ἀμαραία, Stadiasm. l.c.), where there was a tower and a cove. Barth (
Wanderungen, pp. 300, 359) refers it to the
Wady Msîd, where there is a valley with a stream of sweet water in the sandy waste; and Müller, in his map to illustrate the Coast-describer (
Tab. in Geog. Graec. Min. Par. 1855), places Amaraea at
Ras-al-Hamrak, where Admiral Smyth (
Mediterranean, p. 456) marks cove ruins, and Admiral Beechey (
Exped. to N. Coast of Africa, p. 72) the ruins of several baths with tesselated pavements, to the W. of which there is a stream flowing from the
Wady Mata. [
