NOTES

1.  Eaby [2007] 23 says of this tomb: 'This burial, however, appears to have been found during the bulldozing of a new road/path, immediately to the right of the signed turn-off to Vronda, at Kako Mouri.  This location is roughly equidistant from Azoria and Vronda.'  The location chosen is roughly equidistant from Azoria and Vronda by road and, more relevant, there is a track stretching off to the right of this intersection which could have been made by a bulldozer.  The toponym Kako Mouri is not known to me.
