NOTES
1. Syriopoulos [1973] 193, fn. 1 describes the site location in detail.
2. A blog post that discusses the locational issues is here.
3. In Richard Hope-Simpson's Mycenaean Greece and the Homeric Tradition [2018] 337 we see that Dhimitra: Troupes has been proposed as the location of Homeric Enispe. And see C545 in this atlas.
