VII. ORGANIZATION

iv.

Officials

There is mention of Perigenes γραμματεύς, grammateus (ll. 11-12), to whom the written agreement settling a dispute between the two members of the association Herakleides and Kephalon was given on 2 Hathyr (20 November 110 BC): it is very likely that Perigenes was the grammateus of the association itself.

VIII. PROPERTY AND POSSESSIONS

iii.

Income

The clause after the oath (ll. 20-26) establishes that if Herakleides pronounced the oath, Kephalon would have to pay one keramion (ca 10 litres) of wine into the association; otherwise, Herakleides would have to provide the wine.

IX. MEMBERSHIP

ii.	Gender	Men
	Note	The members of the association (present and future) mentioned in the text were all men.
v.	Relations	Both Herakleides and his father were members of the association – it is uncertain (although possible) whether the grammateus Perigenes was the father of Kephalon. In the oath it is established that Herakleides will introduce his son into the association, when his father were to die (ll. 12-15: ἐὰν τελευ\|τήσῃ ὁ πατήρ μου, εἰσά\|ξω τὸν ἐμαυτοῦ υἱὸν \| εἰς τὴν σύνοδον, ean teleutese ho pater mou, eisaxo ton emautou hyion eis ten synodon). We see here a hereditary pattern for membership of the association.
vi.	Proper names and physical features	Ἡρακλείδης Λευκίου Κεφάλων Περιγένου Περιγένης γραμματεύς

X. ACTIVITIES

ii.

Meetings and events

There is mention of the written agreements which settled the dispute between the two members of the association being given to the grammateus before the temple of Apollo (ll. 8-9: ἐπὶ τοῦ δρόμου τοῦ Ἀπολλωνι|ήου, epi tou dromou tou Apollonieiou): it is likely that this indicates the meeting place of the association.

XIII. EVALUATION

i.	Private association	Certain
	Note	The terms synodos and koinon, and the evidence of an internal organisation with officials make it certain that this was a private association.
