Lorea, titular see in the province of Arabia, suffragan of Bostra. The city figures in the different manuscripts of the “ Notitiz episcopatuum” of Antioch in the tenth century under the names of Lourea, Dourea, and Lorea (Echos d’orient, II, 170; X, 95). This is all that is known concerning the city, which is not mentioned by any geographer, and the location of which is unknown.
