Quote:where is the river?The inscription calls it flumen Lycus, the River Lycus ("wolf river"). Dessau (ILS 5865) places it prope Berytum, Byblum versus, ad ostia fluvii Nahr-el-Kelb, in rupe ad viam, "near Beirut, opposite Byblus, at the mouth of the River Nahr-el-Kelb, on the cliff by the road". I shall have to take his word for it!
