18. Claudian (in iv. Cons. Hon. 480) alludes to the fact
without naming the river; perhaps the Alpheus (i. Cons.
Stil. 1. i. 185).
--Et Alpheus Geticis angustus acervis
Tardior ad Siculos etiamnum pergit amores.
Yet I should prefer the Peneus, a shallow stream in a wide
and deep bed which runs through Elis and falls into the sea
below Cyllene. It had been joined with the Alpheus to
cleanse the Augean stable. (Cellarius, tom. i. p. 760.
Chandler's Travels, p. 286.)
