Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography/Bautes

​ BAUTES, BAUTIS, or BAUTISUS (Βαύτης, Βαύτισος: Hoang-ho or Yellow River), one of the two chief rivers of Serica, rising, according to Ptolemy, from three sources, one in the Casii M., another in the Ottocorras M., and a third in the Emodi M.; and flowing into the country of the Sinae. (Ptol. vi. 16. § 3; Amm. Marc. xxiii. 6.) The three sources of Ptolemy have not been identified with any certainty.
