Ancient place-names
Thymbrius river
Thymbrius (Thumbrios), a small river of Troas in the neighbourhood
of Ilium; it was a tributary of the Scamander, and on its banks stood the town
of Thymbra (Strab. xiii. p. 598; Eustath. ad Hom. Il. x. 430.) There still exists
in that district a small river called Timbrek, which, however, does not flow into
the Scamander, but into a bay of the sea; if this be the ancient Thymbrius, the
plain of Thymbra must have been at a considerable distance from> Ilium. For this
reason, Col. Leake is inclined to identify the Thymbrius rather with the Kamara
Su, which still is a tributary of the Scamander or Hendere Su (Asia Minor, p.
289.) This text is from: Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography (1854) (ed. William Smith, LLD). Cited September 2004 from The Perseus Project URL below, which contains interesting hyperlinks
