Euroea, a-titular see of Epirus Vetus in Greece, suffragan of Nicopolis. Eurcea is mentioned by Hierocles (Synecdemus, 651, 6). Justinian transferred its inhabitants to an islet in a neighbouring lake and built. there a strong city (Procop., De aedif., IV, 1). We know five bishops of Eurcea; the first, St. Donatus, lived under Theodosius I, the last is mentioned in a letter of Pope St. Gregory the Great about 603 (Lequien, Or. christ., II, 143). The site of the city is unknown; Lequien identifies it with Paramythia, which is called Ai Donat (St. Donatus) by the Turks, in the vilayet of Janina, Others have placed it at Limboni, now proved to be Photice, others at Janina itself.
