XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Probable
Note The single surviving attestation of the group does not provide any precise detail about its internal functioning, activities or members. Its evaluation as a private association cannot therefore be confirmed with certainty on the basis of the available evidence. However, its connection with the cult of Men increases this probability.
