Some additional information

Slimnitsa is 3km west of Monopylos, on the bank of a tributary of the Aliakmon where it touches the Albanian border and turns back. Originally shepherds, but after the 1878 Sophades fire in central Greece, they became lumberjacks. Dormition church was built at the center in 1743 and St Athanasios in 1872 on the south east hill at Manitsa fountain. As it is the mountain pass between Greece and Albania, Slimnitsa was forcibly moved to Albania in 1947, 1885 and ca 1800, whereby they acquired many Epirotan inlaws. The Kastorian Ottomans released the Albanian brigand Abidi to pursue the Slimnitsan freedom fighter Captain Basil Farkakis, who rebelled against the abortive Treaty of San Stefano giving them over to the Bulgarians, but the brigands instead raped and pillaged the village in 1878 killing eight and injuring three hundred women and children. After the liberation of Thessaly in 1895, having been displaced and scattered by the Bulgarians during the 1885 East Rumelia Catastrophe, some settled in Sykourio (Mega Keserle, 400 families), Larissa, as well as Sperkhiada Lamia, Trikala, Xyloparoiko, Varibopi, Volos, Athens and Kalamata, where prior Slimnitsans already sold their lumber. After the war, the Grammohoria returned and were consolidated into the village of Ieropiyi in Nestorio township, Kastoria county, with Slimnitsa hencefore known as the neighborhood of Trilofos. 208.105.255.86 15:54, 2 Φεβρουαρίου 2024 (UTC)
