Date of discovery

The article contains details of the circumstances of the discovery, including how long the digging went on for, but not when this happened. When did the work take place? Richard Nevell (talk) 21:42, 16 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was 2001 or earlier, since according to Google Translate, a finder's fee was paid in drachmas, and the euro replaced the drachma in 2001. Nyttend (talk) 07:16, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

article is fine. i don't understand greek and i'm using machine translation, but why is the source is written in the first person? ltbdl☃ (talk) 07:03, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I believe it's because it's lifted from the book mentioned in the article (which is not available online). Deiadameian (talk) 12:15 18 August 2024 (UTC)
fair enough. approved. ltbdl☃ (talk) 13:16, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
