IX. EVALUATION

i. Private associations Discarded
Note Although Jaccottet 2003 (vol. 2: 269-70, no. 162; cf. Boeckh in CIG II Add. 2336b) has interpreted the oikoi as associations, it seems more likely that the term refers to buildings (cf. Étienne 1990: 165-6; cf. 168). These oikoi were taken care of (IG XII.5 951, ll. 8-9: epimelesamenos) by someone who was honoured by the boule and demos for performing his tasks well. This suggests that, even if the oikoi should be understood as associations, it would seem that they belonged to the 'civic' rather than to the 'private' sphere (cf. Jaccottet 2003, vol. 2: 270).
