Ervin, “The Sanctuary of Aglauros on the south slope of the Akropolis . . .,” ΑΡΧΕΙΟΝ ΠΟΝΤΟΥ 22 (1958) 133-136 and passim (an offprint of this article is in the Library of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens); although no ancient source attests a cave of Aglauros, the sanctuary is [mistakenly] located in the Akropolis North Slope cleft (Part II no. 198), dubbed “Cave of Aglauros,” Travlos, J. 1971, 1,2,52,72, 228, 578, fig. 5 no. 11, fig. 91 no. 136, fig. 93, fig. 722 Q; [the temenos was probably on the Akropolis North Slope at Cave Gamma ];]
