IV. The Tombs

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  11 October 2013

Extract

The tombs fall into two groups. The first and, as far as can be seen, largest, at the spot called τὰ μνήματα (the tombs), lies round about the spring Vitzelovrysis on the way up to the city from the plain. The second, close to the spring Astividhero (Brushwood spring), lies near the path up to the city from the plain of Nesimos.

The tombs in each group were numbered as they were excavated, not in chronological order, and the objects from them were catalogued in the general series with the prefix M. (for Ta Mnemata) or A. (for Astividhero), followed by the tomb number.
