NOTES
1. The most important finds here (Fachard [2012] 336) appear to have been a building, interpreted as a farm house, and an inscription interpreted as a boundary marker between the demes of Eretria and Styra.
2. The building is visible in Google Earth at this location. Compare it to the building diagram in Reber [2002] 46, Abb. 3. For a discussion of the building's location see this.
