XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Possible
Note Their appearance along with archontes and agonothetes is an indication for the existence of a body, but there are no other evidence about the activity and their organization. Also, the text in this particular part of the inscription is incomplete. However, it could be possibly considered as name of an association by analogy to CAPInv. 904. On the other hand it is not certain that the character of this association was private (cf. CAPInv. 832).
