Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography/Turuntus

by William Smith (1813-1893)

TURUNTUS (Τουροῦντος, Ptol. iii. 5. § 2), a river of European Sarmatia which fell into the Northern Ocean, and which, according to Marcian (p. 55), had its source in the Rhipaean mountains, but Ptolemy seems to place it in Mount Alaunus or Alanus. Mannert (iv. p. 258) takes it to be the Windaw.
