Bodies brought up in this part of Greece (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

samos

'this part of greece' is the definition.
(greek island)

'bodies brought up' is the wordplay.
'bodies' becomes 'somas' (soma is a kind of body).
'brought up' is a reversal indicator (in a down clue, letters go up).
'somas' in reverse letter order is 'SAMOS'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for samos that I've seen before include "Greek island?" , "birthplace of Pythagoras" , "Aegean Sea island" , "somewhere in the Aegean" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
