XII. NOTES
i. | Comments | The text reads: vacat στεφανωθέντες ὑπὸ τῶν θιασωτῶν ἀνέθεσαν vacat, stephanothentes hypo ton thiasoton anethesan. One would expect it to be preceded by personal names of officials of the group (e.g. X and Y and Z tamiai, etc), designating the identity of those who set up the dedication. |
XIII. EVALUATION
i. | Private association | Probable |
Note | Given the nature and typology of the text, the thiasotai mentioned are most probably a private association (to what extent identical with any of the groups attested in the area remains unknown). |
