Conope, later renamed Arsinoe or Arsinoia, was a city of ancient Aetolia near the eastern bank of the Achelous River, twenty stadia from the river's ford. It remained only a village until Arsinoe, wife and sister of Ptolemy Philadelphus, enlarged it and gave it her name. Polybius calls the town Conope in his account of the Social War of 220 to 217 BC while elsewhere using the name Arsinoe or Arsinoia, and Cicero refers to it as Arsinoe. The river Cyathus, flowing from Lake Hyria, which Antoninus Liberalis also calls Conope, entered the Achelous near the town.
