Correspondence between Schaeffer and Karageorghis on the 1972 Cyprus colloquiumClaude Frédéric-Armand Schaeffer and Vassos Karageorghis

I recall also the way in which you organized the visit of the Symposium to Enk.-Alasia at the end of a long journey devoted to places of your own archaeological activities. When the weather broke at lunch time a I suggested to you that the visit to Enk.-Al. should precede the visit of the Greek and Roman monuments at Salamis which had no direct relation to the purpose of the Symposium, you refused to take my advice. Finaly you came with the already tired members to Enkomi-Al. when rain started. It was only with regard to several members who told me that they could not come back another day to Enkomi that I accepted to undertake the guidance at my site inspite of the unfavorable weather. Shortly afterwards, when I had first shown the area attributed by me the the diggings of Dikaios you insisted that the Congress should leave in order to return to Nicosia for a social meeting. Discussions at the Maison 18 and at the sanctuary of the Ingot god where cut short, those on the site of the so-called "temple a la colonne" prevented while you guided the members to the waiting cars without a word of thanks leaving me and
