NOTES

1.  The question is whether this site is connected to the Alimos site (C1322) or other sites along Leophoros Vouliagmenes avenue.

2.  Because vases in this area were subject to clandestine excavations in the decade of the 1880s the source of various pieces of pottery is uncertain. The situation is probably best explained in Furtwängler [1886] 37 under the heading for 'Haliki'. And see Privitera [2013] 110 'A tali rinvenimenti possono ... '

3.  Simpson and Dickinson [1979] 206, 'F 15 Trachones', ' ..., but no precise locations are given.'
