Ora
- the name of Hersilia, as a goddess, Ov. M. 14, 851.
ORA(Ὄρα), a place mentioned by Ptolemy (Ptol. 6.8.14) in Carmania, but apparently on the confines of Gedrosia. It seems not improbable that he has confounded it with Orae, or Oraea, which was certainly in the latter province. Strabo (15. p. 723) and Arrian (6.24) both apparently quoting from the same authority, speak of a place of this name in Gedrosia,--the capital, probably, of the Oritae.
[V]ORA(τὰ Ὤρα), a town in the NW. part of India, apparently at no great distance from the Kábulriver, of which Arrian describes the capture by Alexander the Great, on his march towards the Panjáb(4.100.27). It does not appear to have been identified with any existing ruins; but it must have been situated, according to Arrian's notice, between the Guraei (Gauri) and the celebrated rock Aornos.
