Comments: My GPS measured the nearby key saddle to 2311 meter, the summit to 2414 meter. The map (that I found after this hike) says that the key saddle is between contours 2320 and 2340, with the summit at 2424 meter. That is a prominence no larger than 104 meter. Thus, this mountain is "soft ranked", and I use the 103 meter obtained by local measurements.
There are additional comments under the report on Timios Stavros.
