VII. ORGANIZATION

iii.	Members	Τεμενεῖται, Temeneitai
iv.	Officials	χρυσονόμος, chrysonomos γραμματεύς, grammateus The chrysonomos was the treasurer, the grammateus the secretary of the association. Cf. Herrmann 1980: 226-227 with n. 9. If they were eponymous officials (cf. next field), they most probably administered their office for a year.
	Eponymous officials	Both the chrysonomos and the grammateus are mentioned in the praescript after the milesian στεφανήφορος, stephanephoros, the eponymous of the city. Therefore, they seem to be the eponymous officials of the association.

VIII. PROPERTY AND POSSESSIONS

i.	Treasury/Funds	Since the chrysonomos was the treasurer of the association, it must have had some kind of treasury.
ii.	Realty	The inscription records a purchase, presumably of a plot of land (Milet VI.2 802 ll. 10-11: ἠγοράσθη{ι} ὁ̣ [τόπος?], egorasthe{i} ho [topos?] (cf. I.Didyma 486 l. 25)).

X. ACTIVITIES

iv.

Honours/Other activities

The first part of the inscription records that the chrysonomos "raised" something (Milet VI.2 802 ll. 2-3: [--- χ]ρυσονομῶν --- ε̣ίου ἀνεστησεν τὴν ---, [---ch]rysonomon --- eiou anesthesen ten ---). This could refer to the construction of a building by the association (cf. Milet VI.2 799).

The second part of the inscription seems to describe the purchase of a plot of land, but it is not clear for what purpose.

XII. NOTES

i.	Comments	The inscription does not specify the name of the association but just uses the generic term Τεμενεῖται, Temeneitai, without the usual reference to certain gods. The association could therefore be identical with one of the other milesian associations of Τεμεν(ε)ῖται, Temen(e)itai, or τεμενίζοντες, temenizontes. On groups of temenizontes, Temenitai in Miletus in general cf. CAPInv. 998.

XIII. EVALUATION

i.	Private association	Certain
	Note	The terminology employed (temeneitai) and the religious character indicates a private association.
