	Christian Athens
		Pittakis, a noted epigraphist of Athens in the early half of the last century, published an inscription which purports to state that in the year 630 the Parthenon was consecrated under the title of "the church of Divine Wisdom" (tes Hagias Sophias).
		But Pittakis was very careless or credulous at times in the copying of inscriptions.
		So we do not know with certainty what was the original title of this church.

		Ludwig Ross, a German born in territories under Danish occupation, and Kyriakos Pittakis, a Greek born in Athens when it was still under Ottoman occupation, were both employed by the new antiquities service in 1833.
		Pittakis publicly accused him of giving away the rights of the Greeks to their patrimony and Ross eventually resigned from the service in 1836.
		But it was symptomatic of the tension between the educated Europeans serving in the top civil service positions of the new nation and the Greek freedom fighters struggling to adjust to the new conditions created after the departure of the occupying Ottoman forces.

		He has not been formally identified but police believe the man to be the tenant of the flat, 60-year-old Nikolaos Pittakis, who is thought to have lived alone.
		A post-mortem was carried out on Saturday which showed the cause of death to have been multiple stab wounds.
		Mr Pittakis was born in Athens and moved to Britain three years ago after spending some time living in Argentina.

		Also interesting, is the history of the Thission Collection or the Acropolis Wall, a series of Byzantine monuments built into a wall (adjacent to the Acropolis' southern fortification), during the Turkish Occupation.
		Archaeologist Kyriakos Pittakis also added some artefacts to the structure in 1833.
		The wall served as a means for the sculptures' exhibition and protection from destruction or theft.

		The epikranitis of the wall behind the North porch, partially fell down when the porch was destroyed in 1827.
		It was restored in 1838 by Kyriakos Pittakis and in 1907-08 by Nikolaos Balanos.
		During the latter intervention, some of the blocks of the North and South walls had been placed in wrong position.

	RHISE VOL. 1 - Ambraseys and Finkel, Material for the Investigation...
		This, most probably 18th-century manuscript, the authenticity of which was in doubt (Zisiou, 1885), is made up of fragments of a history of Athens and contains two garbled passages about earthquake damage to the town.
		The year in which this happened is not given, but the context in which these events are recorded suggests that they must have taken place after the return of the Athenians to the town from their voluntary exile, about three years after the departure of the Venetians in 1688.
		Mommsen (1868) and Zisiou (1868), in contrast, dismiss altogether the evidence for an earthquake in Pittakis (1853) as a fabrication.
