ΣΚΟΤΟΥΣΣΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΘΕΣΣΑΛΙΑ
A river of Thessaly, flowing near Scotussa, through the battle-field
of Cynoscephalae into the lake Boebeis. It was probably the river at the sources
of which Dederiani stands, but which bears no modern name. (Liv. xxxiii. 6; Polyb.
xviii. 3; Steph. B. s. v.; Leake, Northern Greece, vol. iv. p. 473.) It is perhaps
the same river as the Onochonus (Onochonos, Herod. vii. 129; Plin. iv. 8. s. 15),
whose waters were exhausted by the army of Xerxes. It is true that Herodotus describes
this river as flowing into the Peneius; but in this he was probably mistaken,
as its course must have been into the lake Boebeis. (Leake, Northern Greece, vol.
iv. p. 514.)
