does the sentence have a grammar problem?

Since the list came mostly from ancient Greek writings, though, only sites that would have been known to the ancient Greeks were included.

I don't see one. What do you think is wrong?

I think that the sentence is much to complicated. It would be better if you split it up into simpler sentences that made more sense.

The list came mostly from ancient Greek writings. Only sites that would have been known to the ancient Greeks were included.

Two sentences have been formed by omitting the connecting word 'though', and the word 'since' at the start.

Robin, if you just omit words, you lose meaning.

This would be better.

However, the list came mostly from ancient Greek writings. Therefore, only sites that would have been known to the ancient Greeks were included.
