XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Probable
Note The identification of a group of imperial tenant farmers as a private association is perhaps a little problematic given their employment; nevertheless, if we are to assume that the apolysimoi of P.Mich. V 244 (CAPInv. 1409 ) are, in fact, a private association, then it seems likely that this group is too.
