This Oreos is presumably omega 173: Histiaia/Oreos on the island of Euboia (epsilon 3222, iota 687, and for the ethnikon epsilon 3808). But [NF] note also the people called Oreitai living somewhere between Ambrakia and Amphilochia in NW Greece (Barrington Atlas map 54 apparatus), and another of the same name in present-day Pakistan (map 6 grid B4).
