Dictionary of Greek and Roman geography . lica. C. Smaller temple, of Vesta (?). D. Amphitheatre. E. Other ruins of Roman time.F F. Gates of the city. G. River Salso. The small river which (as already noticed byStrabo), by stagnating under the walls of Paestum, rendered its situation so unhealthy, is now called theSalso : its ancient name is not mentioned. It formsextensive deposits of a calcareous stone, resemblingthe Roman travertin, which forms an excellentbuilding material, with which both the walls andedifices of the city have been constructed. The ma-laria, which caused the site to be wholly abandonedduring the middle ages, has already sensibly dimi-nished, since the resort of travellers has again at-tracted a small population to the spot, and givenrise to some cultivation. About five miles from Paestum, at the mouthof the Silarus or Sele, stood, in ancient times, a cele-brated temple of Juno, which, according to the tra-dition adopted both by Strabo and Pliny, was foundedby the Argonauts under Jason (Strab. vi. p. 252 ;. COINS OF PAESTUM. PAESUL A {XiaiaovXa), a town of the Turdetaniin Hispania Baetica. (Ptol. ii. 4. § 13.) It is identified by Ukert with Salterns, but its site isuncertain.

At one period it received colonistsfrom Miletus ; but in Strabos time (xiii. p. 589) thetown was destroyed, and its inhabitants had trans-ferred themselves to Lampsacus, which was likewisea Milesian colony. The town derived its name fromthe small river Paesus, on which it was situated, and now bears the name Beiram-Dere. [L. S.]PAGAE. [Pegae.] PAGALA (to TiaydXa, Arrian, Indie, c. 23, ) aplace on the coast of Gedrosia, to which the fleet ofNearchus came after leaving the river Arabis.
