Extract
Grateful as we must all be to Mr. Compton and Mr. Awdry for their adventurous climb, which to my mind has finally settled the path that the Messenians took to reach the foot of the gorge or gully, we have probably been puzzled by some of their incidental remarks. I feel the less reluctance in commenting on them that most of my criticisms would, by their kindness, have been embodied in the article itself, had I not been absent in Greece at the time it was being written.
In the first place what they call the ‘notch’ is what Dr. Grundy and I both call the ‘hollow.’ The word hollow was kept by Messrs. Lindsay, Bosanquet, and Crowfoot, and there is no reason, I understand, for the change except inadvertence. It is more serious, however, that the part played by this hollow in the last struggle of the Spartans is misconceived.
