VII. ORGANIZATION

ii. Leadership The patronym in l. 2 most probably belongs to the name of the association's leader.
iv. Officials A γραμματεύων, grammateuon (l. 3) and an ἐξεταστής, exetastes (l. 4) are the two (common in Macedonian associations) officials attested.
The form γραμματεύοντος, grammateuontos (l. 3), instead of γραμματέως, grammateos, may suggest an annual service.
Eponymous officials Both officials are in the genitive, hence their name also served for dating purposes.
v. Other staff The three ἐπιμεληταί, epimeletai (l. 5), were not officials of the associations but merely those put in charge of the erection of the monument.
ix. Privileges The remains of a personal name in l. 3 probably belong to the name of the deceased, whose monument was paid for by the association.

IX. MEMBERSHIP

ii. Gender Men
Note All five officials and the deceased were men.

XII. NOTES

i. Comments As Nigdelis 2006: 202 points out, parallels from other associations in Macedonia and the remains of ll. 1-2 seem to suggest that the association was probably named with a formula such as "the synetheis around X" with or without the name of a deity worshiped.

XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Certain
Note A leader and a number of officials are clear indicators of a stable associative structure.
