Notes:

The brothers Theodore A. Ralli and John A. Ralli, according to John (Matthew) Ziffo, John A's grandson, were the richest Rallis. "They set up in 1848, the year of the Crimean War. Theodore was established in Vienna; when he retired to Athens he bought a lot of valuable land, built the finest house in Athens of all white marble, in the Omonia Square which after his death was occupied by the British Legation. England paid rent for many years, £500 in gold, and ultimately bought it. I believe it is still [in 1933] occupied by the British Ambassador. He owned the plots on which now stand Schliemann's Museum, the Hotel Grande Bretagne, the Royal Stables, etc."
