NOTE

1. Simpson and Dickinson [1979] 66 are being opaque when they name this 'Klenies: Ayios Nikolaos'. It is on the other side of Athikia from Klenies and is properly so labelled in Simpson [1965] and Simpson [1981]. Also their reference to GAMS (Simpson [1965]) should be to no. 51 and not no. 5.
