- In Arcadia: Pausanias 5.3.2.
But perhaps [NF] also be a muddled reference to Orestis/Oresteia/Orestia, the upland canton of Makedonia SE of Lake Ochrid, especially as it is ‘topos’ not ‘polis’ (although maybe ‘chora’ would have made this more certain). Alternatively, the capital of this region, Argos [Myth, Place] Orestikon.
