IV. NAME AND TERMINOLOGY

ii. Name elements
Personal:Νακορείοι, Nakoreioi - From the Greek personal name Νάκορος, Nakoros (LGPN s.v. no. 1). The compound name likely suggests a founder or a benefactor of the association, (cf. Thomsen (forthcoming), Gabrielsen 1997 p. 126-7, Maiuri 1916 p. 141, Poland 1909 p. 73-6).
Other:The left side of the inscription is fragmented. The association possibly carried additional name elements, that are now lost.
Note The character of the association is greatly reminiscent of other associations described as κοινὸν, koinon, although the descriptive term has been omitted in this case.

It is possible that the association was described as a koinon in the fragmented part of the inscription.
