Theodore Kavalliotis

[9] He returned to Moscopole and was appointed teacher at the New Academy (Greek: Νέα Ακαδημία, romanized: Nea Akadimia) in 1743.

[11] In 1770, he published in Venice, at Antonio Bortoli's printing press, a school textbook, called Protopeiria.

[14][15] The lexicon was re-published in 1774 by the Swedish[16] professor Johann Thunmann, who taught at the University of Halle-Wittenberg.

[17] Besides Eugenios Voulgaris, he was also influenced by the work of Vikentios Damodos, Methodios Anthrakites, René Descartes and medieval scholastics.

[18] During his last months he witnessed another wave of destruction of his home place, in June 1789, by local Muslim lords.
