Hide this section XII. NOTES

i. Comments I am not sure whether the reading of the word in ll. A14-A16 is correct, although it appears as certain in the text provided by Ziebarth. One may read ἡ θ<ε>ίασου καὶ μεγίστη δύναμις, he th<e>iasou kai megiste dynamis.

i. Private association Discarded
Note I have the impression that the term thiasos does not signify an association but, if the reading is correct, some sort of a supernatural power.
