XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Possible
Note This list contains 12 names in the left column and 8 names in the right. According to Milik's very hypothetical reconstruction (1972: 125-7), the left column records the 12 members of a thiasos under the leadership of Otes, who built the room K according to a painting with inscription above the list of names (which does not mention Otes). The right column would contain the names of the staff who served the members of the association during the first banquet in this room of the temple. There is much speculation in this reconstruction.
