Catalog of Ships.[1][2][3] Strabo distinguishes the town from two others of the same name, Alope in the area of Opuntian Locris and Alope in that of Ozolian Locris.[4][5] The editors of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World tentatively locate Alope with the modern village of Fournoi in the municipality of Echinaioi.[6]
