Moedus(que) #20

urn:cts:croala:bunic02.croala1761880.croala-lat2w:body.div1.l227.w4 Here is the full line: Corniger Eridanus, Liparis, Moedusque Nyphates

I think Moedus might be the name of a river because it is surrounded by the names of other rivers in this context; however, I can't find anything about what river this is. Does anyone know what this name refers to?

Could it be a river in Persia, since Nyphates is in Armenia?

Mēdus, i, m., = Μῆδος, a small river of Persia, a tributary of the Araxes, now the Polwar, Curt. 5, 4, 7; v. also Medi. (http://logeion.uchicago.edu/index.html#Medus)
