- "The Orontes (/ɔːˈrɒntiːz/; from Ancient Greek Ὀρόντης, Oróntēs) or Asi (Arabic: العاصي, al-‘Āṣī, IPA: [alʕaːsˤiː]; Turkish: Asi) is a 571-kilometer-long (355 mi) river in Western Asia which begins in Lebanon, flowing northwards through Syria before entering the Mediterranean Sea near Samandağ in Turkey.
As the chief river of the ancient Levant region, the Orontes was the site of several major battles. Among the most important cities located on the river nowadays are Homs, Hama, Jisr al-Shughur, and Antakya (the ancient Antioch, which was also known as "Antioch on the Orontes")." - (en.wikipedia.org 23.09.2020) - Latitude
