Notes:
NW of the Dipylon Gate of Athens. Obviously associated -- though not identical -- with the Kerameikos or Potters' Quarter (for which see kappa 1354, kappa 1355, kappa 1356, kappa 1357). As a deme, it was one of the many which was known by the plural of the demotikon: sing. Kerameus, pl. Kerameis.
