3737: papyrus document containing four price declarations (P.Oxy. LIV 3737-3740); written on other side is P.Oxy. LIV 3758, a report of proceedings before a logistes, dating to 325 3744: 7.2 x 12cm; verso appears to be a report of proceedings perhaps before the logistes according to editor 3755: 8.5cm x 14.5 cm; roll that contains 3 declarations; of the three only that of the kemiopolai is preserved |
VII. ORGANIZATION
| ii. | Leadership |
3737: the title of the official submitting the declaration, if it had been mentioned, is lost. Given the similarities between this and other price declarations from Oxyrhynchus, however, it is likely that Aurelius Hierakas (l.9) was a meniarches. 3744: the title of the official submitting the declaration, if it had been mentioned and if he was an officer, at lines 9-11 does not seem to have been recorded or has been lost; the text breaks off at line 11 and lines 10 and 11 are highly fragmentary: Aurelius ̣ ̣ ̣ (ll.9-10). 3755: the title of the official submitting the declaration, if it had been mentioned and if he was an officer, at lines 9-11 does not seem to have been recorded or has been lost; the text breaks off at line 11 and lines 10 and 11 are highly fragmentary. Ll. 29-34 may bear more fruitful information, however: given the formulaic nature of these documents, and the copies therein, it seems entirely possible that Aurelius Seleukos, son of Herakleios was the meniarches. |

XIII. EVALUATION
| i. | Private association | Certain |
| Note | The associative terminology and the apparently necessary declaration suggests that this was an association; private here because, in spite of the nature of the declaration itself, there is nothing here to suggest that this group was other than voluntary (although state compulsion may be something else entirely). |
