VIII. PROPERTY AND POSSESSIONS

ii.

Realty

The association possessed at least a topos (l. 4) in the village of Euhemeria. The topos used to belong to the komogrammateus Apollonios, his son Didymos and brother Isidoros (ll. 4-8), who were probably members of the association.

IX. MEMBERSHIP

iv.	Status	The members of the association were private farmers (georgoi idioi) who owned the land they cultivated. The komogrammateus Apollonios, as well as his son Didymos and brother Isidoros, probably belonged to the association and the three men were the former owners of the topos which is now indicated as belonging to the association (ll. 4-8).
v.	Relations	If the former owners of the topos, now belonging to the association, were members of the synodos, the association had a father and his two sons among its membership. Given the character of association of private farmers, it is likely that others in the synodos were connected by family links.
vi.	Proper names and physical features	Ἀπολλώνιος κωμογραμματεύς Δίδυμος υἱός Ἰσίδωρος ἀδελφός Ἀφροδίσιος Κεφαλᾶτος ἐπιμελητής̣ Παοῦς

X. ACTIVITIES

iii.	Worship	Given the presence of the god crocodile (Souchos) in the relief above the inscription, it seems reasonable to believe that the association worshipped that divinity.
	Deities worshipped	Souchos (?)

XIII. EVALUATION

i.	Private association	Certain
	Note	The terminology used (synodos), the internal organisation, the officials, and the ownership of real estate by the group make it certain that we have here a private association.
