Φωκική πόλη που καταστράφηκε μετά το Φωκικό ή Ιερό πόλεμο. Στην εποχή του Παυσανία δε σώζονταν ούτε ερείπια της πόλης (Παυσ. 10,33,8).
The land beside the Cephisus is distinctly the best in Phocis for planting, sowing and pasture. This part of the district, too, is the one most under cultivation, so that there is a saying that the verse, "And they who dwelt beside the divine river Cephisus", alludes, not to a city Parapotamii (Riverside ), but to the farmers beside the Cephisus. The saying, however, is at variance with the history of Herodotus as well as with the records of victories at the Pythian games. For the Pythian games were first held by the Amphictyons, and at this first meeting a Parapotamian of the name of Aechmeas won the prize in the boxing match for boys. Similarly Herodotus, enumerating the cities that King Xerxes burnt in Phocis, includes among them the city of Parapotamii. However, Parapotamii was not restored by the Athenians and Boeotians, but the inhabitants, being poverty stricken and few in number, were distributed among the other cities. I found no ruins of Parapotamii left, nor is the site of the city remembered.
