Its excavators proposed an identification with ancient Doliche, which previously had been only provisionally located. It may represent the original seat of Doliche. The late-antique fortified site at Kastri Livadiou (q.v.) seems to have made use of spoliated material including an inscription that names Doliche as a polis.
