Rostovtzeff, M., Brown, F.E., and Welles, C.B. (eds.) (1939), The Excavations at Dura-Europos. Preliminary Report of the Seventh and Eighth Seasons of Work, 1933-1934 and 1934-1935. New Haven.

XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Possible
Note The eight persons listed have built the oikos. Milik 1972: 140 argues that this points to a thiasos with ten members, the two leaders not being mentioned in the list. This is, as Milik's general reconstruction of associations in Dura, rather hypothetical.
