^{page 224 note 2} The colonization of Hydra, however, began at an earlier date, at latest 1550, since Thevet (f. 169) represents the island as inhabited in his day. Local tradition then affirmed that an older population had fled to the mainland in the reign of the despot Constantine Palaeologus, to escape the pirates.

In tne case of Zea this is backed by a curious folk-tradition collected by Thevet to the effect that the towers in the island were built by the Albanian national hero Scanderbeg (Insulaire, f. 174: ‘George Castriot dit Scanderbeg ayant renoncé à la foy du faux prophète se saisit de plusieurs Isles de l'Archipelague faisant la guerre au Prince Amurath et à son fils Mahemet second du Nom. Estant en possession paisible de l'isle de Zea y fit faire plusieurs forts pour tenir en bride ses ennemis’).

It is significant that Kasos possessed a firman of Suleiman the Magnificent, an energetic coloniser (B. Randolph, Archipelago, 30). Ross also hints at Albanian colonization in Astypalaea (ii. 59), not in itself improbable, as it was one of the islands sacked by Barbarossa.
