i. Private association Probable
Note The text may relate to an association thanks to the reference to the hegoumenos in line 4. Βased on the dedication to Pnepheros and Petesouchos this could be considered a religious association, but that does not mean the group could not have been organized around a common trade; without more information it is difficult to be certain.
