In August 1821, in Kalamata he started publishing the Greek newspaper "Elliniki Salpinx" ("Greek Bugle"). References to the salpinx are found frequently in Greek literature and art. Fallopian tubes are also known as oviducts, uterine tubes, and salpinges (singular salpinx). He was noted particularly for his size, voracity and loudness of his trumpet (salpinx). This notion is corroborated by Nikos Xanthoulis in his article "The Salpinx in Greek Antiquity". Salpinx contests were a part of the original Olympic Games. The Salpinx was a straight trumpet long, made of bone or bronze. In anatomical contexts, salpinx is used to refer to a type of tube.
