XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Possible
Note The phyle usually denotes public subdivisions (civic tribe). However, during the Imperial period the term was also occasionally used by professional associations, especially in Asia Minor. In light of the funerary context and due to the late date of the text (l. iii AD) the term phyle in this case may designate a private association (SEG 53: 877).
