VI. BUILT AND VISUAL SPACE

i.	Archaeological remains	Sarapieion C lies east of the sanctuary of the Syrian gods on the foot of Mt Kynthos. It was the public sanctuary of Sarapis on Delos. The epigraphic evidence suggests that the cult in Sarapieion C became public sometime in the early 2nd c. BC (Sarapieion A was founded as a private sanctuary and remained so in the period of the Second Athenian Occupation. Sarapieion B seems to have been used as a meeting place of associations and devotees of the Isiac cult). When the island came under Athenian control in 167/6 BC, the priest of Sarapis was appointed by the Athenian state. His office was annual.
ii.	References to buildings/objects	As the Delian inventories show the group dedicated the following items: - a smooth (undecorated) bowl: leion skaphion (ID 1403, Bb II ll. 87-88; perhaps the same skaphion is to be identified with ID 1417 A II ll. 115-117). It is listed under the silver items. - [φιά]λην καρυωτὴν [ὡς τ]ριπά[λα]στον ἔχουσαν [πρόσω]πον Σαρ[άπιδ]ος, phialen karyoten ws tripalaston echousan prosopon Sarapidos (a phiale three hands long, decorated with a nut-shaped boss with the head of Sarapis) (ID 1403 Bb II, l. 92; ID 1417 A II, ll. 119-121; ID 1412a, ll. 68-69).

XII. NOTES

i.

Comments

This group figures only twice in the inventories, whereas a small inscribed block of stone found in Sarapieion C further attests to the presence of this group (IG XI 4, 1225). It is interesting to note that the dedications set up by the symbalomenoi eis ton bomon are not dated after the priest of Sarapis, unlike the dedications set up by the koinon ton therapeuton. It seems that the absence of a dating formula that would place the dedicatory act and the activity of the group in a precise year might indicate the ad hoc formation of the group rather than its regular or long lasting character.

XIII. EVALUATION

i.	Private association	Possible
	Note	The present participle symbalomenoi seems to indicate an ad hoc group, involved in a short-lived activity. See above XII.i.
