The exemption from dues (ateleia) bestowed to the foreigner from Patara suggests that membership of the association incurred some dues; see section VII.ix ( note that the term ateleia is fully restored).

iii.	Worship	The consecration is made to Apollo Dalios, whose civic cult is attested in Kamiros (Tit.Cam. 50, l. 25; Tit.Cam. 90, col. I, l. 28). The Rhodian deme of Tymnos, where the inscription was found, is a deme of Kamiros and this inscription attests therefore to the cult of Apollo Dalios outside the physical confines of the city of Kamiros. It is not entirely clear, however, whether the association itself worshipped Apollo Dalios. Ignoring these basic facts, Boyxen thinks of an importation of the Delian Apollo, set up in the grounds of the association' sanctuary (Boyxen 2018, 258-9).
	Deities worshipped	Apollo Dalios
iv.	Honours/Other activities	The association honoured the individual from Patara with a foliate crown, a gold crown and ateleia (ll. 3-4).
