Well, could also be eu topos, meaning good or beautiful place. Topos can also mean something like "premise" as in Aristotle's Topics. So eu topos might mean "beautiful" or "optimistic" premise. With the alpha privative atopos it means "strange" or "out of place." Hence Socrates being called "most strange" in Plato's Phaedrus because he is outside the city walls may also pun on "being out of arguments."
