| i.a. | Source type(s) | Epigraphic source(s) |
| i.b. | Document(s) typology & language/script |
SEG 35: 1109 and I.Eph(esos) 2076 are dedicatory inscriptions (the association receives two diastyla from M. Publicianus Nikephoros (ll. 6-7)). I.Eph(esos) 728 is an honorific decree. In Greek. |
| i.c. | Physical format(s) |
I.Eph(esos) 728: Base of a statue I.Eph(esos) 2076: Marble pillar SEG 35: 1109: Fragment of a marble pillar |
| ii. | Source(s) provenance |
I.Eph(esos) 728: Re-used in the Scholastikia baths I.Eph(esos) 2076: Found before the theatre, but originally from the "Hallenstraße" SEG 35: 1109: Street between theatre and stadium |
VI. BUILT AND VISUAL SPACE
| ii. | References to buildings/objects | The association received - like a number of other professional groups - two diastyla from M. Publicianus Nikephoros, which they presumably used for selling their goods. |
X. ACTIVITIES
| iv. | Honours/Other activities | The association has set up (I.Eph(esos) 728) the statue of Publius Vedius Antoninus, who was honored by boule and demos (not by the association itself; contrast Harland 2014: 280: "Honors by Wine-Tasters for P. Vedius Antoninus"). It is not known if the association really had relations with this famous man, or seized the opportunity to pretend that it did, or was simply ordered by the city to erect the statue. |
XII. NOTES
| i. | Comments | On the interpretation as those who sell holy wine cf. Engelmann 1986. The association apparently managed the vineyards of the sanctuary of Artemis, and sold the produce. |

XIII. EVALUATION
| i. | Private association | Probable |
| Note | Professional associations in the 2nd/3rd century were often very close to the official civic institutions, but they probably remained essentially private associations. | |
| ii. | Historical authenticity | Certain |
