NOTES

1. Fossey [1988] 263 suggests that this little peninsula might be the site of ancient Phocae and see Robert Buck [1979] A History of Boeotia, p, 21. 'Phocae is perhaps to be identified with the remains noted at Skroponeri, where circuit walls, Neolithic, Bronze Age and Hellenistic pottery were found.'. Also Farinetti [2011 AI13], ibid.
