CAPInv. 1788: U-EAM-009

I. LOCATION

i. Geographical area Eastern Asia Minor
ii. Region Cilicia
iii. Site Lamos

II. NAME

i. Association with unknown name U-EAM-009

III. DATE

i. Date(s) s. i - ii AD

IV. NAME AND TERMINOLOGY

Note The wording of the heavily damaged inscription is almost identical with the inscription CAPInv. 1786. There the members of the association describe themselves as οἱ συνελθόντες Μωβρενις Ρονδου καὶ οἱ μετ’ αὐτοῦ, hoi synelthontes Mobrenis Rhondou kai hoi met' autou. In lines 1-4 a few names are decipherable. Therefore we can assume that the assiciation is formed equally around an individual, from whom it takes its name: 'the ones who have joined together, X, son of Y, and those with him', followed by a list of these men.

VII. ORGANIZATION

vi. Laws and rules The wording of the heavily damaged inscription is almost identical with the inscription CAPInv. 1786: The share of the grave owned by a member and the arrangement in which the various family members are to be placed in the grave seem to be precisely regulated in this inscription. A separation into two burial levels is arranged (lines 5-9): members’ wives and male relatives are buried in the upper chamber of the grave and the remaining female family members in the lower chamber. Consequently, married daughters are excluded from the opportunity of being buried in the grave as they are buried with their respective husbands (ll. 9-11).
The funerary fines to be imposed for contravention of the regulations are to be paid to the demos of Lamos and maybe the fiscus (lines 11-14). The payment consists of [coins and] various precisely designated animals: ten white and [ten] black bulls, ten [rams], ten goats and [1000 drachmas and to the fiscus] 500 drachmas.

XI. INTERACTION

i. Local interaction The funerary fines to be imposed for contravention of the regulations are to be paid to the demos of Lamos and maybe the fiscus. The payment consists of coins and various precisely designated animals.
