Parauaea (Greek: Παραυαία) was an ancient Greek territory in the region of Epirus. The inhabitants of the area, a Thesprotian Greek tribe, were known as Parauaioi (Greek: Παραυαῖοι; also Parauaei or Parauaeans), which meant "those dwelling beside" the Aous river.

👉 Parauaea in the context of Elimiotis
Elimiotis or Elimeia (Ancient Greek: Ἐλιμιῶτις or Ἐλιμία or Ἐλίμεια) was a region of Upper Macedonia that was located along the Haliacmon river. The capital of Elimiotis was Aiani, located in the modern municipality of Kozani, Western Macedonia. It was bordered by Orestis and Eordaea in the north, Pieria in the east, Perrhaebia/Thessaly in the south, and Tymphaea and Parauaea in the west, and was inhabited by the Epirote Greek tribe of Elimiotes or Elimiotae (Ancient Greek: Ἐλιμιῶται). In earlier times, it was independent and the Derdas family ruled the local kingdom from its capital Aiane. However, later it lost its independence and by 355 BC, Elimiotis was part of the kingdom of Macedon.
