Source-derived summary

Nea Sinopi (Greek: Νέα Σινώπη) is a village and a community of Preveza regional unit, in the region of Epirus, in western Greece. The community consists of the villages Nea Sinopi and Archangelos. It is situated between low hills, at about 40 m elevation. It is about 15 kilometers north of the town of Preveza.

Population

History

Archangelos and Neo Sinopi were founded in 1922, as a result of the population exchange between Greece and Turkey. The name means "New Sinope", as many of the refugees were from a village near modern Sinop.

The Roman aqueduct

In Archangelos, there are some remains of the Roman aqueduct of ancient Nicopolis. The Roman aqueduct, 50 km long, carried the water from the springs of Louros to two cisterns in the Nymphaeum of Nikopolis. It was constructed after the foundation of Nikopolis by Octavianus Augustus.

Editorial summary

Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Nea Sinopi” is place in Greece. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Sinopi, place and Greece, not as a finished interpretation.

Editorial reviewA concise reference frame for defining the subject, testing terminology and identifying the institution closest to the evidence. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1922—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. For this dossier, Sinopi, place and Greece is the immediate research focus.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “place in Greece” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q21500632. Authority coordinates are 39.083, 20.724. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1922.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
