Theory A: Corruption of Serpentine (Small Cannon)
In English and French artillery, a serpentine was a small, long-barreled cannon firing 1–2 lb shot, often mounted on a swivel. The Greek rendering could be serpentina (σερπεντίνα). A mis-transliteration from "serpentine" to "sirin" is plausible, especially via Balkan trade routes.
Theory C: Siren – The Sound of Warning
From Greek σειρήν (seirēn) – siren. In naval contexts, a "siren" gun might refer to a signal cannon used to warn villages of pirate attacks. A portable siren-cannon battery of 34 pieces would be an early acoustic warning system.
Of these, the Russian Sirin bird theory is the most specific and archaeologically verifiable. Several 18th-century Russian bronze cannons with bird motifs have been found in Greek islands. A collection of 34 such pieces on Salamis would be a unique find.
Part 2: Who Was "Maria"? The Ship or the Saint?
The word "Marias" (genitive of Maria) could refer to: 34o Elliniko erasitehniko: Ta kanonia tis Marias apo
-
A ship named Agia Maria (Saint Mary). Greek Christian tradition often named vessels after the Theotokos. Several Agia Maria ships operated out of Salamis in the 1820s during the Greek War of Independence. One such vessel, a brig of 16–20 guns, might have carried 34 smaller pieces as anti-personnel swivel guns.
-
A fortification or shore battery named Santa Maria. The Venetians, who ruled parts of Greece until 1715, built coastal fortifications with named bastions. A "Bastion Santa Maria" on Salamis (perhaps near the modern town of Paloukia) could have housed 34 light cannons.
-
A person – Captain Maria. Female captains were rare but not unheard of in the Aegean. Laskarina Bouboulina and Manto Mavrogenous are famous examples. Could a lesser-known captain named Maria have owned a battery of 34 portable guns?
The most plausible historical record points to a late-18th-century Venetian-era coastal defense battery, later reused by Greek revolutionaries, consisting of 34 small-bore iron cannons, each light enough to be dragged by two mules – hence "portable."

Part 1: Salamis – More Than Just an Ancient Battlefield
When we hear "Salamina" (Σαλαμίνα), most recall the great naval battle of 480 BC where the Greek fleet crushed Xerxes. But the island has a continuous naval tradition. During the Ottoman period (post-1460), Salamis became a haven for Greek sailors, pirates, and privateers. Its harbors—Ambelakia, Paloukia, and Faneromeni—sheltered small, fast vessels: mistikos, perama, and latinadiko.
By the 18th century, Salamis was a center for armatoloi (armed militias) and kapoi (pirate-captains) who used light, portable artillery to ambush Ottoman supply ships. A cannon from Salamis was not a massive ship-of-the-line gun but a smaller, often swivel-mounted piece that could be carried ashore for ambushes or hidden in caves.
This geography directly explains the keyword "portable." On Salamis, mobility was survival.
3. The 34 Canons: Structure and Content
The 34 canons are not independent hymns but condensed troparia following the pattern of the Great Canon of St. Andrew of Crete. Each canon consists of 3 to 6 short strophes, each ending with the refrain “Through the Theotokos, mercy.”
Numerological significance:
- 34 = 3 (Trinity) + 31 (days of a Marian month, e.g., August, Dormition season).
- Alternatively, 34 represents the traditional 30 silver coins plus 4 virtues (purity, humility, obedience, vigilance).
The canons are thematically arranged:
- Canons 1–12: Annunciation to Presentation (major feasts).
- 13–18: Miracles of Mary in Byzantine hagiography (e.g., the Blachernae rescue).
- 19–24: Canons against temptations (poverty, illness, despair).
- 25–34: Eschatological canons invoking Mary as the “Second Heaven.”
