          Archivist's note

          The two sheets with the typewritten text ("Ithaque") appear to belong to item GR-OF CA CA-SF01-S04-F13-SF001-0001 (1273), that is, the Kyriacopoulo translations (1919), as there are similarities in the sheets (layout, watermarks, wears) and in the handwritten note on how the text continues. Moreover, while the poem is recorded in the index of the aforementioned item, it is not found there.
