Acripus

Southern Europe

Acripus, also spelled Akripos, was a town of ancient Aetolia, near the border with Acarnania, in what is now Greece. It is known only from epigraphic evidence recording the appointment of a theorodokos, an official host for sacred envoys, around 356 or 355 BC. Its exact location is unknown, but its position in the list of theorodokoi, following Amphilochian Argos, leads scholars to place it in Aetolia proper rather than Acarnania.
