There is another in Lesbos from Arisbe the daughter of Makar. Ephoros traces her descent from Merops and was the first married to Alexandros the son of Priam. Herodotos, using Ionic, calls it Arisba in the first. The ethnonym Arisbaios and Arisbaia. There is also a river of the Thracians Arisbos. The ethnonym Arisbaieus.
