Athanasios A. Sakellarios

Athanasios Sakellarios wrote Ta Kypriaka, whose first volume appeared at Athens in 1855 and a third in 1868; an 1890 edition followed^6,11. Wikidata records a writer and educator named A. A. Sakellarios, born in 1826 at Agios Petros and dead in 1901 at Athens, educated at Athens and Leipzig¹². Counts calls the author "the learned Greek philologist", while Marangou calls him a "Cypriot scholar"^1,3.

Mitford says he was active in the island for some four years at mid-century and added five new Kourion inscriptions to those known². William Waddington revised his Kourion copies in 1862². In 1851 he visited Athienou, where he linked the local name Giorkous to Golgoi and noted a surface city wall and east gate³. He also wrote on the findspot of the Assyrian stele now in Berlin, near a garden in Larnaca⁴. Marangou quotes his account of the 1832 Episkopio bronze statue, which was broken up and sold as scrap, with the head reported to have gone to Larnaca and then to a European¹. He recorded that Luigi Palma di Cesnola took a collection of 10,000 pieces to the United States in 1873 and sold it for 320,000 drachmas to the new museum in New York¹. Marangou comments that he treated illicit digging and export as accomplished facts, without criticism¹.

Karageorghis's catalogue of the Pierides collection lists him among the correspondents of Demetrios Pierides⁹.
