NOTES

1. Paschalidis [2018] 11 says that the owners of this site do not allow exploration so that much about this site is unknown.

2. The report in AD [1994] 231 goes on to say: 'Δυστυχώς ο ιδιοκτήτης της έκτασης Χρ. Σκόνδρας μας απαγόρευσε την είσοδο, λέγοντας χαρακτηριστικά ότι δεν μπορούν κάποιες παλιόπετρες να του καταστρέψουν την περιουσία του, πράγμα που επιβεβαιώνει την ύπαρξη του οικισμού.' == 'Unhappily the owner of the property, Chr. Skondras, has forbidden entry to us, giving as a reason that 'some old stones will not destroy the property', thus establishing the existence of the settlement.'
