JADASON. There is mention made of it in Judith i. 6. where it is said, that Nebuchadnezzar overcame Arphaxad by the Tigris and Euphrates, and the Jadason or Hydaspe, as the Greek text has it. In the Syriac it is said the Eulæus, which is by much the more probable; for the river Hydaspe was in the Indies, and the Eulæus near the city of Susa in Persia.
