"One possible exception is Mikrolivado (Labanítsă), where there is stronger evidence that Vlachs and Greki lived together and the Vlachs were gradually assimilated. In fact, in a report issued by the Diocese of Grevena in 1904, Mikrolivado is specifically included among the Vlach villages, with fifteen Vlach families. When Wace and Thompson passed through the area in 1911, they found that the elderly residents of Mikrolivado were still speaking Vlach, while the children owing to intermarriage and natural assimilation, now spoke only Greek. In fact, Mikrolivado is recorded as a Vlach village in several records of population statistics compiled in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century."
