Orobiae
Orobiae or Orobiai (Ancient Greek: Ὀρόβιαι) was a town on the western coast of ancient Euboea, between Aedepsus and Aegae, which possessed an oracle of Apollo Selinuntius.[1] The town was partly destroyed by an earthquake and an inundation of the sea in the 426 BC Malian Gulf tsunami.[2] This town seems to be the one mentioned by Stephanus of Byzantium under the name of Orope (Ὀρόπη), who describes it as "a city of Euboea, having a very renowned temple of Apollo."[3]
Its site is located near the modern village of Rovies.[4][5]
