NOTE
1. A note on the geography:
- Ayia Paraskevi refers to the church at F6136 as well as the hill on which it stands.
- Vistritsa/Vestritsa etc. is now (probably) Neochori although I find no record of a name change.
- Agriovotano is at F1743. Perhaps Sackett should just have said 'the road to Asmini'
- Sackett's Histiaia is now Istiaia at F3750. For more see Lauffer [1999], s.v. 'Histiaia' as well as Hansen and Nielsen [2004], s.v. '372. Histiaia (Euboia)'
