Deli Çay
The
Deli
Çay
is a
river
in
southern
Anatolia
near today's Turkey—Syria
border
.
It was formerly
identified
with the
Pinarus River
, where
Alexander the Great
defeated
Darius III of Persia
in the
First Battle of Issus
. But the
distances
measured
by
Alexander's
bematists and
observations
of
the local
topography
indicate
that the
Pinarus
is
actually
the
Payas River
.
