XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Possible
Note Despite the fact that Parker 1996: 334 considers the group as a possible genos and Lambert 1997: 197 as a possible phratry, I think that there is still a distinct possibility that the group was a private group, associated with and gathering during the polis festival of Dipolia.
