NOTE

1. The directions in Simpson [1981], 197, 'Kattavia: Karavi' are miscopied from his original notes (as reflected in Simpson and Lazenby [1973], 148, 'Kattavia: Karafi'). In Simpson [1981] he says that the site is 2.5 km. east-southeast of Ayios Paulos church (F2021). It's really about 2.5 km. east-southeast of Kattavia and about 400 m. southeast of Ayios Paulos church.
