Note The text remains unpublished. But, according to Collart who briefly commented on it, it "semble être un fragment de règlement religieux". Because of the presence of the term thiasus, moreover, he associated it with the cult of Liber Pater, well-attested at Philippi. Two thiasi evolving around this cult are currently attested at this colony, namely thiasus Liberi Patris Tasibasteni (see CAPInv. 1754) and thiasus Maenad(um) regianarum (see CAPInv. 708).
