VII. ORGANIZATION

ii. Leadership α' κναφάριος = πρωτοκναφάριος, 1 knapharios = protoknapharios, has been suggested as the title of the leader of an association, see XII.i: Comments.

XII. NOTES

i. Comments Dölger 1932: 394 suggested to read α' κναφάριος, 1 knapharios, instead of ἀκναφάριος, aknapharios, and interpreted it as a short form for πρωτοκναφάριος, protoknapharios. He thought the term is used analogous to πρωταυράριος, protaurarios, maybe the leader of the association of the goldsmiths in Corycus (cf. the comments to CAPInv. 1018). Robert (1969: 916) refused this reading: “Cela ferait bien des ‘présidents des γναφάριοι’ et alors que l'on ne connaît pas de γναφάριοι; il n'y a pas de signe sur l'alpha ou après, indiquant que c'est un chiffre; nulle part dans cette série d'inscriptions le πρῶτος formant la première partie du mot (πρωταυράριος) n'est indiqué par un chiffre (α' αὐράριος).”

For ἀκναφάριος/ἀγναφάριος, aknapharios/agnapharios, cf. Robert 1969: 915-23.
