CAPInv. GR-10: thiasotika

I. LOCATION

i. Geographical area Aegean Islands
ii. Region Thasos
iii. Site Thasos

II. GENERAL REFERENCE

i.a. Full reference (original language) θιασωτικά (IG XII Suppl. 356 l. 5)
i.b. Full reference (transliterated) thiasotika
ii. Reference context The text is partly preserved. The preserved lines mention arrangements for the payments of debts. Despite the fragmentary state of preservation, the text seems to constitute a decree/ list of regulations passed probably by civic authorities, something that can be further corroborated by the findspot of the inscription, i.e. in the prytaneion.
The term thiasotika is juxtaposed to the term choritika (l. 5: ἢ θιασωτικὰ ἢ χωριτικὰ). It may refer to plots of land (χωρία?) of private associations.
