Dicheimarro
village in Greece
Dicheimarro (Greek: Διχείμαρρο, before 1928: Ρέντα – Renta), is a community in the municipal unit of Tsotyli, western Kozani regional unit, itself in the Greek region of Macedonia.
Michael Kalinderis lists Renta as populated by Greek speaking Muslim Vallahades. The 1920 Greek census recorded 277 people in the village, and 200 inhabitants (40 families) were Muslim in 1923. Following the Greek–Turkish population exchange, Greek refugee families in Renta were from Asia Minor (17) and Pontus (18) in 1926. The 1928 Greek census recorded 162 village inhabitants. In 1928, the refugee families numbered 34 (135 people).
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Dicheimarro” is village in Greece. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Dicheimarro, village and Greece, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “village in Greece” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Maps, plans, fabric surveys and administrative records can establish how the site’s name, extent and function changed over time. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 20, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q3395612. Authority coordinates are 40.307, 21.232. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1928, 1920, 1923 and 1926.
Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
