NOTE
1. Syriopoulos names four sites: a) Vourlia, b) Ellenika-Gouves, c) Kakouri-Prinos and d) Kryphos Spilios. I have not tried to distinguish between them. Kanta [1980] 175 says that the Vourlia location is 'north-east of Selladhes, ...' and the Gouves location is '... between Selladhes and Vourlia, ...'. (RHC)
