mitato
Mitato ((ギリシア語:Μιτάτο), archaic form: , from (ラテン語:metor), "to measure off/to pitch camp") is a term meaning "shelter" or "lodging" in Greek.
Appearing in the 6th century, during the Byzantine period it referred to an inn or trading house for foreign merchants, akin to a caravanserai. By extension, it could also refer to the legal obligation of a private citizen to billet state officials or soldiers. Alternatively, in the 10th century, Constantine Porphyrogenitus uses the term to refer to state-run ranches in Anatolia.〔Oxford Dictionary of Byzantium, p. 1385.〕
In modern Greece, and especially on the mountains of Crete, a ''mitato'' (in the plural ''mitata'') is a hut built from locally-gathered stones to provide shelter to shepherds, and is used also for cheese-making. Mount Ida (also called Mount Psiloritis) in central Crete is particularly rich in flat stones suitable for dry stone construction.〔Antonis Plymakis, ''Koúmoi-Mitáta kai Boskoi sta Leuká Ori kai Psiloriti'' ("Shepherd's huts and shepherds in the Lefka Ori and the Psiloritis"), Chania, 2008, 630 p.〕〔Harriet Blitzer, Pastoral Life in the Mountains of Crete.
