Life and work

  1. c. 1875
    Named by Christofis Christodoulou (affidavit, Limassol 26-27 June 1884, published L'Homme 25 March 1885) in the sentence: 'I am sure these two bracelets with inscriptions were found by Theocharis or a man called Giannis from the village of Mosphiloti, and in the same time and on the same day as I was working on the hill and the "terrace place" and in the presence of Cesnola. After Cesnola started for Larnaca ... we found the rich three-chamber tomb. The bracelets in question were found down in the plain and nearer by the carob trees on the end of the land of the church.' Christofis thus denies they came from the rich three-chamber tomb; he is unsure which of the two men found them.
