There's apparently some very strange conflation going on with Syme island (599951). Syrie on the inset of Map 61 is a tiny feature sitting between Ephesus and the 38th parallel. I don't feel confident making all the necessary changes, but pretty much all the connections and identifications for this resource need to be transferred to 599951, and this resource needs to be given new coordinates (I suspect they may be 37.96759715754528, 27.34841740794851, the small hill directly north of Ephesus).
