+These arms show quartered, 1) a stone pine (umbrella pine, <em>Pinus pinea </em>) and a vine tree in an wheat field with a goat, symbolic for the fertility of the region; 2) an antique sailing ship, symbolic for the Greek colonisation; 3) a large stone masoned wall on the bank of a bay, for the old Pharos, with an olive tree, myrtle and rosemary and 4) symbolic for hope, a lion standing on a cliff by a raising sun and a swallow flying above. Around the shield were two green snakes carying the motto "LABOREMVS" (i.e. Let's work).
+These arms were abandoned in 1918 when the old arms were restored.
