Babelon hesitated to attribute these obols to the small town of Paroreia or to the district of the Parrhasiae, of which Lycosura was the capital. Paroreia was on the road between Megalopolis and Gortys. Imhoof also doubted that Paroreia struck coins and attributed them to the mountainous district of the Parrhasiae, having probably been struck in Lycosura.
