You are welcome Gene!
Just to add a point on the kamas, it is also possible that the refuge was actually the knife maker himself, and having his shop in KYdonies made the first knife there and the second he made (or completed) as a refuge in Mytilene.
Regarding Greek kama's, look at the photos below for areally funny inscription.
It is made in Elasona (central Greece), at that time part of Ottoman territory.
Although most probably made to be sold to a muslim client (note the minaret and the star and crescent) the inscription is in Greek stating the incredible: "I am a good kama, give money and buy me"!!!!!!!!!!!!!
