Introduction
A very few days after this website hit the tubes, I received an e-mail from Nicholas Pappas. He maintains the wonderful CastellorizoHistory.com, and wanted to share the cemetary transcription with the other Kazzies on the Interblag. The idea came up that someone should do a translation of the inscriptions and, seeing as the level of Greek was beyond my abilities, Nicholas offered to translate it himself. In the process he has used his encyclopaedic knowledge of Kastelorizo to correct my transcription, fill in some blanks, and provide some background detail to the people buried in the plots.
Here, then, is Nicholas’ translation of the inscriptions on the Kastelorizo cemetery, along with his comments on the graves’ occupants. Anyone who finds his work useful should check out his website CastellorizoHistory.com.
