Edhe nė rrugėt e Athinės ", thotė zoti Finlay, * edhe pse ajo ka qenė pėr mė shumė se njė ēerek shekulli kryeqyteti i njė mbretėri greke, gjuha shqipe dėgjohet ende midis fėmijėve qė luajnė nė rrugėt ", nė afėrsi tė tempullit tė Theseus dhe harkun e Hadrianit".
George Finlay (Faversham, Kent, 21 December 1799 Athens, 26 January 1875) was a Scottish historian
Some believe these people to represent those perplexing Pelasgi who inhabited Greece before the Hellenic occupation of it. If this be correct, it is a singular caprice of Fate which has planted their pauper dwellings, inhabited by a hard-featured, light-haired race, more like Scotch Highlanders than Greeks, on that very slope below the Acropolis which the ancient Athenians from tradition denominated the * Pelasgicon.' * Even in the streets of Athens,' says Mr. Finlay, * though it has been for more than a quarter of a century the capital of a Greek kingdom, the Albanian language is still heard among the children playing in the streets, ' near the temple of Theseus and the arch of Hadrian.'

Njė rrethin e kundėrt tė Athinės nė kėtė burim quhet Callirhiotis, dhe ėshtė e banuar nga kolonėt shqiptarė. Kėshtu nė Athinė njė shqiptar dhe njė Callirhiote janė pėrdorur ndonjėherė si terma sinonime.
Thomas Smart Hughes (1786-1847), a british theologist, visited Greece in 1813-1814
A district of Athens opposite to this fountain is called Callirhiotis, and is inhabited by Albanian settlers. Hence at Athens an Albanian and a Callirhiote are sometimes used as synonymous terms.
