Notes from Karpathos

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  18 October 2013

Extract

It was my good fortune in the early summer of 1903 to spend three weeks in the island of Karpathos, travelling with the aid of a grant from Emmanuel College. My object was to see as much as possible of the antiquities of the island, and to make observations on the mode of life and customs of the modern inhabitants. For this study of modern Greek life Karpathos, owing to its retired position, offers a peculiarly favourable field. Theodore Bent considered it for this purpose almost unique. The island is still served only by a fortnightly steamer from Rhodes, and therefore much of interest is preserved there, that has passed away in more accessible parts of the Greek world. The study of the dialect also formed part of my plan.

page 188 note 1 Manolakákis has put the name Αὐλῶνα on his map too far to the east; the settlement is really in the valley that is clearly shewn running north and south somewhat west of the place where he has put the name. The name is the classical αὐλῶν ‘a glen’ The form Stavlalonia, given by Bent as being compounded from αταῦλο and ἀλῶνι I did not hear, nor is it supported by Manolakákis. Its origin may be the words εἰς τὴν Αὐλῶνα
