>**To everyone: since i cannot find justice in the justice system of the greeks, i was forced to highlight the justice of pardala, or knife. From now on, this high servant of cowardly justice, named Pardala, will answer to all the all the people responsible and the unfaithful. Her service will always be honest and will never neglect her holy duties of delivering justice**
>**March 1917**
The inscription has horrible spelling and syntax, so i did my best to make an accurate translation(as you can see the museum had to translate it from greek to…greek because the awful spelling and syntax makes it almost uninteligible). The knife is housed at the forensics museum of Athens…along with Giankoulas’ preserved head. The daggers you see around it are also evidence from other murder cases
So it’s basically an ancient hobo knife.
