Archivist's note
Two additional handwritings are discernible, apart from that of N. Lapathiotis: one in the note and the other in the name "Napoleon Lapathiotis", below the last verse of the poem. The first is possibly that of Marios Vaianos, as can be deduced from the content of the note; the second is probably that of Rica Singopoulo. The item is inserted in a double sheet notepaper with information on its publication in the journal Alexandrini Techni (1927).
Archivist's note
Lapathiotis's poem was published in Alexandrini Techni 5 (April 1927), p. 10.
