| i.c. | Physical format(s) | A tomb hewn from the rock, the roof of which is formed by the lid of a sarcophagus, which has been let into a recess in the rock. The front door is flanked by pilasters and busts to the right and left. The signature of the stonemasons is on the front of the sarcophagus lid. The inscription of the koinon is 'on a recessed rectangular panel to the right, an asymmetrical addition to the facade of the tomb' (Bean-Mitford, Journeys -- Rough Cilicia, 1964-1968: 178). |

VI. BUILT AND VISUAL SPACE
| ii. | References to buildings/objects | The μνῆμα (mnema) is made by Kendeas and Kallimachos, two Selgian stonemasons. |
VII. ORGANIZATION
| ii. | Leadership | In contrast to CAPInv. 1786, where the group is formed around an individual, from whom it also takes its name and who obviously is the leader of the group, there seems to be no hierarchy between the members of the koinon. |
| iii. | Members |
Seven men are documented: Konbeis, Askas, son of Alaikas, Teteskas, son of Thes, Gisnes, Narouras, son of Kyes, Rouendas, son of (H)elais, Kdotailis, son of Kdotailis, grandson of Oramis |
| vi. | Laws and rules | The regulations are brief and to the point: no burial of individuals who do not belong to the association, accompanied by a funerary fine of 100 denarii, payable to the association, for failure to comply. Moreover, the sale of a member’s share is forbidden. |
VIII. PROPERTY AND POSSESSIONS
| ii. | Realty | Common burial space |
| iii. | Income | The koinon is designated as the recipient of a potential funerary fine. |
IX. MEMBERSHIP
| i. | Number | Seven men are documented. |
| ii. | Gender | Men |
XII. NOTES
| i. | Comments | This tomb and CAPInv. 1793 seem to be built together. Maybe the two tombs belong to the same koinon. |
XIII. EVALUATION
| i. | Private association | Certain |
| Note | The name of the association and the regulations suggest a private association. | |
| ii. | Historical authenticity | Certain |
