The ancient Greek Pandoura (pandora) was a long-necked lute with a small resonating chamber. Some versions may have had three strings and were also known as the trichordon (McKinnon 1984:10). Donald Gill (1984) suggests that the larger instruments of this type were called mandore or mandola while the smaller ones were called mandolin and mandolino. In the eighteenth century the pandurina (mandore) came to be referred to as the Milanese mandolin.
A good source of information about it would be: J.W. McKinnon "Pandoura" in New Grove Dictionary of Musical Instruments Vol 3 pg 10 ed S. Sadie (Macmillan Press, London 1984).
