3 When the stone came to the notice of Platon and Feyel it was in the modern village of Chostia, in the house of Christos Chatzis who had brought it from the Kastro. It is just possible that this information was incorrect, and that it came to Chostia from elsewhere, but, given the nature of the locality, this is most unlikely.

13 Pausanias (x 25.2) in faci uses οίκημα as a suitable generic word for the building: he describes it as a dedicatory offering (ὰνάϑημα).

The term would appear to be unusual.
