AKRES (Ancient city) IERA POLIS MESSOLONGIOU
Acrae (Akrai), a town in Aetolia of uncertain site, on the road from Metapa to Conope. Stephanus erroneously calls it an Acarnanian town. (Pol. v. 13; Steph. B. s. v. Akra.)
TRICHONION (Ancient city) IERA POLIS MESSOLONGIOU
Trichonion: Eth. Trichonieus. A town of Aetolia, from which the lake
Trichonis derived its name. Its position is uncertain. Leake places it S. of the
lake at a place called Gavala, and Kiepert, in his map E. of the lake. But since
Strabo mentions it along with Stratus as situated in a fertile plain, it ought
probably to be placed N. of the lake (Strab. x. p. 450; Pol. v. 7; Steph. B. s.
v.). It was evidently a place of importance, and several natives of this town
are mentioned in history. (Pol. iv. 3, v. 13, xvii. 10; Paus. ii. 37. § 3; Leake,
Northern Greece, vol. i. p. 155.)
