The emperor Justinian re-stored it and surrounded it with strong fortifications Q4 2;32 LYSIMACHIA.

[L. S.]. COIN OF I-YSIJLVCIIIA IX THRACE. LYSIMACHIA (Au(n;uaxia : Eth. Avaijjiaxivs:Papadhates), a town of Aetolia, situated upon thesouthern shore of the lake formerly callecT Hyriaor Hydra, and subsequently Lysimachia, after thistovrn. [Respecting the lake, see Aetolia, p. 64, a.]The town was probably founded by Arsinoe, andnamed after her first husband Lysimachus, since weknow that she enlarged the neighbouring town ofConope, and called it Arsinoe after herself. [Co-NOPE.] The position of the town is determined bythe statement of Strabo that it lay between Pleuronand Conope, and by that of Li\y, who places it onthe line of march from Naupactus and Calydon toStratus. Its site, therefore, corresponds to Papad-hates, where Leake discovered some Hellenic was deserted in Strabos time. (Strab. p. 460 ;Pol. V. 7; Liv. xsxvi. 11 ; Steph.
