XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Certain
Note On the basis of its name and by comparison with other highly similar boundary stones of the burial plots of associations near the city of Kos (more than 50 in number, cf. e.g. CAPI no. 1826), we can be confident that the group constituted a private association.
