History

In his paper Descriptio Moldaviae ("Description of Moldavia"), written in Latin 1714–1716, the scholar voivode Dimitrie Cantemir thus describes this river: "Cahulul, Salcia and Ialpuhul, which are in Moldavia and Bessarabia, increase the Danube. Of the latter, only the Ialpuh flows without consistency, the others are more stable than flowing."[1]
