OccupationMerchant.
Note 1(Katsaros) He was away on a business trip in Marseilles when the massacres started. When he returned, he found his wife and baby daughter had been sold into slavery...
Note 2... Pretending to be a Turk, he searched for them and found his wife who he then bought as a slave. But there was no sign of the child...
Note 3... One day, however, Despina was on her roof, hanging out her laundry, when she recognised a few houses away, her little girl’s clothes! They bought their child. Then, as soon as possible, they left Chios for Marseilles.
