An ancient river of Asia Minor, mentioned by Homer and later authors. BAtlDir, following RE, tentatively identifies it with the modern Kum Çayı, but on BAtlas map 56 G4, the drainage labeled is the upper portion of what OpenStreetMap and Geonames now call the Gördes Çayı. Kum Çayı is not reliably recorded in either of these modern digital resources. BAtlas makes this Hyllos topographically distinct from the the Roman-era Hyllos (modern Demirci Çay), which is an earlier right tributary of the Hermos (modern Gediz Çay).
