Annotations

Temple to Apollo1 (on the basis of an inscribed altar. According to Taylor2, on the left, on the outskirts of the village. Aliquot records this as "the lower sanctuary" and as being on a terrace south of the village.

Aliquot also records an "upper sanctuary3", an antea temple open to the east on the crest above the village, but Taylor, whom Aliquot is quoting, seems to imply that his two photographs are in fact of one site only.

The location is at present completely uncertain.
