Hi,
I'm afraid I don't remember where the accent was.
It's in a song:
"Με πιάσανε Σαρακηνοί και με πουλούν Αγαρηνοι”
Thank you, Simon

Agarenes

Now here in outline is the cause of this mass movement. A certain Celt named Peter, with the surname Koukoupetros, went off to worship at the Holy Sepulchre, and after suffering many frightful things at the hands of the Turks and Saracens who were plundering all of Asia, barely and only with great difficulty succeeded in reaching home.
