XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Possible
Note Cumont 1923: 204 pointed out the possiblity that ἀδελφοί, adelphoi (l. 8), could be used here "au sens religieux de membres d'une même confrérie". This is possible in the light of other bulding inscriptions from Dura that involve associations, but it cannot be proven.
