Don Boozer - Where Was The Garden of Epicurus? Discussion

I am sure that this is probably included in the video but in tonight's zoom meeting it was impressed on me for the first time that I had failed to appreciate the location of Epicurus' "house." I think something about the name "Milete" led me to think that it was in an adjoining town or suburb further out of town. These maps below that Bryan included in his Epicurea show that Milete was even more centrally located -- in fact much more centrally located - than was the "Garden."
I seem to recall that this is in Don's video, but the way we've got the video currently focused on the "Garden" without reference to the "House" probably could be improved, so that we can even more forcefully make the point that Epicurus was by no means leading the life of a hermit.
