NOTE

1. The find site of Chloi (Chloe, Chloé, Kloi, Khloi - and not to be confused with the well-known Kabirion of Kloi on Lemnos) is often associated to the finds at Pheres (Velestinou) just to the S. In addition to this cemetery there is thought to be a C-Hl settlement in the village at the location of the church - Aghia Paraskeuei. See Kaczmarek [2015] Gazetteer under 'Haghios Paraskevi (Chloi)'.
