Livanates.
On the coast of the town of Livanates, excavations have
brought to light the ancient city of Kynos. In the upper lay-
ers, walls possibly belonging to an Early Christian settlement
have been detected occasionally. Excavation has also yielded
a hoard of coins (4th c.). Near the archaeological site of Kynos
survives the aisleless naiskos of Aghioi Theodoroi, perhaps a
monastery catholicon. At least two building phases are dis-
cernible, the first possibly of the 11th c. The masonry of the
earlier phase is cloisonné with stone crosses, while the win-
dows are embellished with dentil courses. During excavations
S of the church the cells and a storehouse have been found.

Arkitsa.
Between Arkitsa and Aghios Konstantinos, next to the national
road at Aghia Aikaterine, stands a church known as the basil-
ica at Daphnousa Lokris. It is three-aisled with projecting tran-
sept, narthex, atrium and annexes including baptistery (late
4th or early 5th c.). The mosaic floors of the nave, transept
and propylon bear dedicatory inscriptions with the names Eu-
genios, Dionyseia and Gerontios.

Aghios Konstantinos.
In the town square has been found a bath complex, from which
survives a small part of marble mosaic floor. It seems that this
bath house was constructed in the Late Roman era and was
in use until the Mid-Byzantine period. Excavations NW of the
modern church of Saints Constantine and Helen have brought
to light a mosaic floor with geometric themes, possibly from
an Early Christian basilica.
