The monument is at the foot of the mountain Kournovo ( Trilofo today ), namely
point of execution is in the village of Agios Stefanos . There on June 6, 1943
executed 106 patriots in pleiopsifeia the Communist prisoners
  from Acronauplia that took them from the camp of Larissa.
Among them was the former secretary of the Communist Party Pantelis Pouliopoulos .
The execution was carried out by Italians conquerors in retaliation for blowing
the tunnels and train in Kournovo ( 06/03/1943 ) . From blowing destroyed the entire train about 1,000 Italian passengers .
At this point we read the names of those executed ,
and a tombstone poet Yannis Ritsos :
The saints 106
<< None screams and cries / sacred silence to waning / space that this circumstance
dropped / saints 106 / Elder and antartopoula / children
Romiosynis / each name and a sword / k ' a star fraternity /
Until Bringing Freedom / wheat and blossom and be seeded and / sad
/ Kournovo / setup festival / k ' the unconquered 106 forever
Resurrected / guardians of the right to put up / in the universe .>>
