Endowments |
A deceased prometres has left money not for the Ephesian prometrai, but for an association of ergatai (see entry). Only if these do not fulfill the conditions specified, the prometrai shall confiscate the money and take over the obligations (grave care with accompanying celebrations). It is unclear why the prometres chose to put his colleagues in second place after the propyleitai; perhaps the latter association was more prestigious.

Comments |
It was not uncommon in funerary endowments to use one association in order to control another’s fulfillment of obligations (for several examples, see the entries on Phrygian Hierapolis). The text is nevertheless unusual because it explicitly speaks of the legal measures employed and the confiscation of the money (l. 8: ἐκδικήσουσιν καὶ ἐκπράξουσιν, ekdikesousin ekpraxousin; cf. Dittmann-Schöne 2010: 148).

Note |
Professional associations in the 2nd/3rd century were often very close to the official civic institutions, but they probably remained essentially private associations.
