  2. 1909
    The British School at Athens committee's note on Farrell's 1909 report on Cyprus archaeology (quoted by Merrillees) says the Committee had 'long been the fellow-workers and admirers of M. Kavvadias, the Ephors of Greece proper and the Greek Archaeological Society', i.e. he is cited as the Greek archaeological authority. Merrillees's printed date for the note is not checked here.
