HYDASPES . A river mentioned in Jdt 1:6 as on the Medo-Babylonian frontier. The name is probably the result of a confusion with the well-known Hydaspes in India (now the Jatam ). In view of the mythical character of the Book of Judith, speculation as to the identity of this river is likely to remain fruitless. However, there may be a suggestion in the fact that the Syr. version reads Ulai (wh. see).

W. M. Nesbit.
