A floor along the gulf supports the road from Paralia Distomou ("Beach of Distomo") to an aluminum factory that mines bauxite from the hills and renders it into the metal.
The need came from the bauxite mining operations of the then newly constructed aluminum factory in the valley to the south of the hill.
[9] An inscription is preserved dating from the 2nd century BCE regarding a political and religious union (sympoliteia) between Medeon and Stiris, in which both cities had the approval of the Phocian League.
The agreement was inscribed on a stele inside the temple of Athena Cranea, in the city of Elateia.
The stele preserves the name of the League's strategos, Zeuxis; in addition a sealed copy was to be guarded by a citizen of Lilaea named Trason and there were three persons who acted as witnesses from different Phocian cities: Tithorea, Elateia, and Lilaea.
From the formalization of the treaty, the Medeonites will be with the Stirisians in conditions of equality and will have assemblies and common magistrates.
