INIADES (Ancient city) IERA POLIS MESSOLONGIOU
City of Acarnania, captured by Messenians of Naupactus, evacuated by them.
As for cities, those of the Acarnanians are.. Oeneiadae, which is also on the river--the old city, which is equidistant from the sea and from Stratus, being uninhabited, whereas that of today lies at a distance of about seventy stadia above the outlet of the river.
Then one comes to Oeniadae and the Achelous; then to a lake of the Oeniadae, called Melite, which is thirty stadia in length and twenty in breadth; and to another lake, Cynia, which is twice the size of Melite, both in length and in breadth; and to a third, Uria, which is much smaller than those. Now Cynia empties into the sea, but the others lie about half a stadium above it (Strab. 10,2,21).
