VI. BUILT AND VISUAL SPACE

ii. References to buildings/objects The μνῆμα (mnema) is made by ⟦Kendeas⟧ and Kallimachos, two Selgian stonemasons (cf. CAPInv. 1791).

VII. ORGANIZATION

ii. Leadership In contrast to CAPInv. 1786, where the group is formed around an individual, from whom it also takes its name and who obviously is the leader of the group, there seems to be no hierarchy between the members of the association.
iii. Members Four men are named:
Pramoeis (?), son of Tetes (?),
Kouailis (?), son of Douemis (?),
Gisnes (?), son of Kotes (?),
Keraias (?) son of Epphisis (?)
vi. Laws and rules The regulations contain a strict prohibition against a member selling his share. The funerary fine is divided into a monetary payment (400 drachmas) and a payment in animals, with the latter going to the god Pluto. The recipient of the monetary fine is not named - in all probability it is the association itself.

VIII. PROPERTY AND POSSESSIONS

ii. Realty Common burial space
iii. Income It is probable that the association is the recipient of a potential funerary fine.

IX. MEMBERSHIP

i. Number Four members are named.
ii. Gender Men

X. ACTIVITIES

iii. Worship A part of the funerary fine, the payment in animals, is going to the god Pluto. It may be assumed that the association had a particular affiliation with this god.
Deities worshipped Pluto?

XI. INTERACTION

i. Local interaction A part of the funerary fine, the payment in animals, is going to the god Pluto (a pair of bulls, a pair of goats, a pair of rams and two pledged pairs of pigs). It may be assumed that the association had a particular affiliation with this god.

XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Certain
Note The regulations dealing with the share of the members suggest a private association with a longer-term existence.
