ΚΩΝΩΨ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΙΕΡΑ ΠΟΛΙΣ ΜΕΣΟΛΟΓΓΙΟΥ
Afterwards Arsinoe. Konope: Eth. Konopeus, Konopites, Konopaios Arsinoe:
Eth. Arsinoites, Arsinoeus: Anghelokastro. A town of Aetolia, near the eastern
bank of the Achelous, and 20 stadia from the ford of this river. It was only a
village, till it was enlarged by Arsinoe, the wife and sister of Ptolemy Philadelphus.
Polybius, in his history of the Social War (B.C. 220--217), calls it Conope, though
elsewhere he calls it Arsinoe or Arsinoia (Arsinoia). It is mentioned by Cicero
under the name of Arsinoe. Near this town the river Cyathus flowed into the Achelous
from the lake Hyria, which is also called Conope by Antoninus Liberalis.

ΛΥΣΙΜΑΧΕΙΑ (Αρχαία πόλη) ΙΕΡΑ ΠΟΛΙΣ ΜΕΣΟΛΟΓΓΙΟΥ
Lusimachia: Eth. Lusimacheus (Papadhates). A town of Aetolia, situated
upon the southern shore of the lake formerly called Hyria or Hydra, and subsequently
Lysimachia, after this town. The town was probably founded by Arsinoe, and named
after her first husband Lysimachus, since we know that she enlarged the neighbouring
town of Conope, and called it Arsinoe after herself. The position of the town
is determined by the statement of Strabo that it lay between Pleuron and Conope,
and by that of Livy, who places it on the line of march from Naupactus and Calydon
to Stratus. Its site, therefore, corresponds to Papadhates, where Leake discovered
some Hellenic remains. It was deserted in Strabo's time.
