ΕΛΙΜΕΙΑ (Αρχαία περιοχή) ΚΟΖΑΝΗ
Elimeia (Strab. vii. p. 326; Steph. B.) or Elimiotis (Arrian, Anab.
i. 7. § 5). A district to the SW. of Macedonia, bordering upon Eordaea and Pieria,
while it extended to the W. as far as the range of Pindus. It was watered by the
Haliacmon, and may be defined as comprehending the modern districts of Grevena,
Venja, and Tjersemba. It was occupied in early times by the Elimaei or Elimiots
(Elimiotai, Ptol. iii. 13. § 21; Strab. ix.; Steph. B.), but afterwards fell into
the hands of the Macedonian princes. (Thuc. ii. 99.) Though a mountainous and
barren tract, Elimeia must have been an important acquisition to the kings of
Macedonia, from its situation with regard to Thessaly and Epirus, as there were
several passages leading directly into those provinces from this division of the
kingdom. In the war which the Lacedaemonians waged against Olynthus, Derdas was
prince of this country. (Xen. Hell. v. 2. 38) It was finally included by the Romans
in the fourth division of Macedonia. (Liv. xlv. 30.)

There was a town called Elimeia (Elimeia, Steph. B.; Eluma, Ptol. iii. 13. § 21),
where Perseus, in the second year of the war, B.C. 170, reviewed his forces. (Liv.
xliii. 21.) The site of this town is probably near Greveno, on the river Grevenitiko.
