History
A river on the northern Atlantic coast of what is now Morocco, presumably near the ancient settlement of Zilil/Zilis. The lower course of the modern Lhachef/Hachef is the obvious match, although its precise ancient path through the coastal wetlands to the mouth mentioned by Ptolemy is uncertain.
