Euphrosynos was benefactor of another private association which conferred upon him several honours (statue, several golden crowns) (CAPInv. 57). He was also honoured by two ktoinai, i.e. public organizations of a territorially defined character, ὑπὸ τᾶς κτοίνας τᾶς ΗΛ[...] (hypo tas ktoinas tas HEL) and ὐπο τᾶς κτο[ίν]ας τᾶς Ἐπι[β]ωμοῦς (hypo tas ktoinas tas Epibomous) (IG XII.3 6, ll. 9-15).

Note |
The name of group, formed by composite theophoric names and an ethnic one, suggests that this group is a private association. Due to the nature of evidence (honorific inscription) we know next to nothing about its internal organization.
