Ptolemy I Soter destroyed the town of Marion in 312 BCE and removed some inhabitants to Paphos.
[3] The city was refounded by Ptolemy Philadelphus and named after his sister/wife Arsinoe.
[4] Cyprus, from its subjection to the kings of the Lagid family, had more than one city of this name, which was common to several princesses of that house; see Arsinoe for other cities so named.
The site of Arsinoe is located near modern Polis Chrysochous.
