Name elements

Geographical:	ἐν Λινδίᾳ πόλει
Status-related:	Katoikeuntes en Lindia polei - meaning ‘those who reside in Lindia’. In the case of Lindos it likely referred to parts of the substantial body of resident non-citizens (Thomsen 2017, 294-300). Georgeuntes - meaning ‘those who work the land’. As above, this likely refers to the substantial body of resident non-citizens. Even though they were professionally involved in agriculture in the territory of Lindos, they could be men of substantial wealth (Thomsen 2017, 294-300). naukl]areuntes - meaning ‘shippers’. Only once attested as a naming element of the association (SEG 14:511, ll. 15–16).
Theophoric:	Ἀθαναιισταί, Athanaistai - From the doric spelling of Athena (Morrelli, I culti in Rodi [Pisa, 1959] 2-13, 80-89).
