Each image has beside it a later annotation in pencil giving a bibliographic reference. The original description in the catalogue reads: "The temple of Apollo in Sikinos is of Hellenic date and construction; but, by the addition of an apse and a belfry, the classical building has been adapted for use as a Greek church, and as such it is still occasionally used. A Greek temple has thus survived; partly, too, because of the extreme remoteness of the island. (Photograph and plan by R.M. Dawkins). a. View of the façade and entrance. b. Ground plan of the temple."
