Between the Ph. D. in 1964 and his work as ordinary professor in
Thessaloniki in 1999 lies our mysterious book "Number Theory",
dated 1984 (author K. Lakki(s)). It is not too far fetched to
believe that K. Lakkis wrote a book about number theory in these
years in the middle between 1964 and 1999. There is nothing more
natural than this :-)

I agree.

My detective story is enhanced by some patches of other Google-
searches. They show K. Lakkis as a reviewer:
http://zmath.impa.br/cgi-bin/zmen/ZMATH/en/zmath.html?first=1&maxdocs=38&type=
pdf&rv=K+Lakkis&format=complete

Math Reviews shows 61 papers with Lakkis as reviewer, from 1972
to 1990, pretty much all in algebraic number theory.

It doesn't seem unlikely to me that these Erdos-Woods numbers
show up in the book of K. Lakkis, which I suppose he wrote indeed.
All we have to do now: Find this book! And tell Neil Sloane about
it.

And tell sci.math about it, if/when you find it. It must be possible
to search some big library catalogues online. It is possible that
the book is written in Greek, or German, as most of his papers
are in German.
