Tithe wheat goes from Myloi to Tripolitsa
19 July 1809 (7 July 1809 old style) Probable
A tax account dated 7 July 1809 (old style) records 'the wheat that was taken from Myloi to Tripolitsa' in the name of Nikolos Meletis, at 30 para a measure. It was the tithe wheat of the district of Argos, from 52 growers, on its way to the Ottoman capital of the Morea. Myloi served as a collecting point on the road to Tripolitsa.
Note: The reading 'from Myloi' as the village of Myloi is probable; Liata's index gives 'Μύλοι (Molini)'.
