NOTES
1. I've placed this marker on the church of Aghia Irini. The tholoi are now destroyed leaving just a stony field.
2. Pelon refers to tombs E and epsilon; Kanta to D and Z; Goodison & Guarita to E and e. There are only two tombs here so I assume that E == E == D and epsilon == Z == e.
3. On the Google map of July, 2, 2016 one sees what appear to be circular features at: 35.003932°, 25.023165°. Perhaps this is the exact location.
