NOTES

1. Eaby [2007] p. 52 supplies a number of constraints for locating Chondrovolakes. They are

~300 m northeast of Vronda
~700 m southwest of the summit of Azoria
the church of Panagia Skali (F6514) is located ~300 to 400 m east of Chondrovolakes

The position chosen satisfies all these constraints and I have set the error radius to 100 m.
