  Notes	A member of the Chambre de Commerce in Marseilles in 1872. Erato Paris writes: "Voici donc une véritable aristocratie grecque, plantée au cœur de la haute bourgeoisie marseillaise... Signe de leur pouvoir et de leur influence tant au niveau local qu'international: leur entrée dans la Chambre de Commerce, lieu par excellence de l'élaboration de la politique économique de la ville port et de son commerce maritime...Paul Rodocanachi sera le premier à y siéger en 1852, suivi par Démétrios Agelasto (en 1872), Alcibiade Reggio (en 1885), Théodore Rodocanachi (en 1887), et Théodore Agelasto (en 1895)." [5] He is cited in the August 1884 deliberations of the Marseille Chambre de Commerce; he was doing business in London in 1874 (London Gazette). Demetrius Agelasto served in the Marseille Chamber of Commerce (1872-1885). From 1881 to 1885 he was "Membre-secrétaire" of the Marseille Chambre de Commerce. [6, 7] Residence: 1856, 45 allees de Meilhan; 1874-1884, 20 Boulevard Longchamp, Marseille. Occupation: Marseille merchant; 1872-75, with brother Demosthenes; 1872-1884, with Agelasto, Michel & Fils, 23 Allées de Capucines, Marseille; 1884, 9 rue de la République. 1874, in partnership, D. M. Agelasto and Company, merchants, carrying on business at Liverpool, with brother Demosthenes, and with Pericles Apalyros until the latter retired from the firm 28 Mar 1874. (London Gazette notice 8 May 1874) Listed as rentier and bachelor on death certificate. According to the Marseille 1856 census his older brother Pandia lived at 45 allees de Meilhan with his wife and their first child. The household also included Demetrius, 23. Although the age is off, he was probably living with his older brother. He was a signatory witness to the birth of Maria (Michael) Zygomala. He was a signatory witness to the birth of Dimitri Constantin Zafiropoulo. On the Electoral Lists, Marseille, France (1877, 1879, 1881) born 15 Nov 1826, Marseille, son of a naturalized father.

[8] D.M. Agelasto and Co. (through its representative P. Apalyra) was among the two dozen Liverpool merchant enterprises which signed a letter stating how they would deal with, as importers of Egyptian cotton, regulations concerning bagging that put "unnecessary burden on the trade" (Manchester Guardian, 29 Jul 1870, p 2). Philanthropy: Demosthenes and Demetrios Agelasto each donated 200 Francs to the Chios Hospital in 1872 according to unpublished research by Demetrios Melachrinoudis.
