XII. NOTES

i. Comments A possible restoration in ll. 1-2, suggested e.g. by the editor, would be θεᾶς Ἀ[φροδείτης σύνοδος - - καὶ συν]αγωγὸν Ἀπ[ο]λ[λώνιον(?) - - ] (theas A[phrodeites synodos - - kai syn]agogon Ap[o]l[lonion? - - ]), which would link the association to the name of Aphrodite, whose cult was indeed very popular in this region. But θεασ[εῖται οἱ περὶ ἱερέα - - καὶ συν]αγωγὸν Ἀπ[ο]λ[λώνιον(?) - - ], theas[eitai hoi peri hierea - - kai syn]agogon Ap[o]l[lonion? - - ] (so CIRB 1132) also remains possible. In this last case we would have the same formula as in the documents belonging to the association CAPInv. 1310.
