Yes, I've read Mitford's article, but can't really find the spot that he is referring to. Or I might have found it, but don't see any evidence on Google Earth of the type of terrain and cairn that he mentions. Perhaps it is on a slope of the mountain that I've so far overlooked.
I've also looked at mount madur, but it seems like an odd place; it seems like it would be in a pass rather than a mountain top...
At the end of the day there were then, and are now, only a few routes through these mountains and it seems odd that there could be more than a few spots where Xenophon could realistically have spotted the sea.
