XII. NOTES

i. Comments There were several synodoi at Smyrna; it is unclear whether or not this fragment should be associated with one of them. L. 4 mentions a συνέδριον, synedrion (possibly the γέροντες, gerontes; cf. Petzl ad loc.), ll. 6-7 could be restored τοῖς μετέχου[σι τοῦ γυμνασίου], tois metechou[si tou gymnasiou] (cf. Petzl ad loc.).

XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Possible
Note Due to the fragmentary state of the inscription, no decision is possible. There are indications for a gymnasial context (cf. XII.i); this might be an argument against a private association.
ii. Historical authenticity Certain
