NOTE

1. The marker has been placed north-west of the church of Hagios Theodoros (F6452) and in association with the branch road to Souvalioteika (F6453) from the Patras-Tripolis road. This captures, I believe, the meaning of the ADelt [2009] 436 which says "που εκτελέστηκαν για τη διάνοιξη του δρόμου παράκαμψης της Ε.Ο. Πατρών-Τριπόλεως, στη θέση Σουβαλιωταίικα, βορειοδυτικά της εκκλησίας των Αγίων Θεοδώρων, ... " (" ... executed for the opening of the bypass road of E.O. Patras-Tripoleos, at Souvaliotaika, northwest of the church of Agios Theodoros, ... "). The actual location of this cist grave should be within 200 meters of the spot marked.
