NOTES

1.  For Rey's investigation of a century ago along with a photograph see Rey [1921], pp. 77-79 and map on p. 78, 'Plan de la ❬❬ toumba ❭❭ de Gradobor A et de la table voisine.'

2.  The reading of the name in French [1967] 27 is ambiguous. It may be either Gradhemborion or Gradhomborion.

3.  The Mycenaean Atlas Project would like to thank Dr. Stratos Nanoglou of the University of Thessalonika for making available a copy of French [1967] which would have been otherwise difficult to obtain.
