XI. INTERACTION

ii.

Interaction abroad

They acted together with the technitai of Isthmos and Nemea according to the decree of 235 BC.
The technitai possibly acted as envoys of Teos in the Greek cities in late 3rd c. BC, asking the privileges of asylia for the city and its citizens (cf. the official emissaries to Samothrace, IG XII
8, 163).
They joined the association of Dionysos technitai of Pergamon after 188 BC.

XII. NOTES

i.	Comments	The seat of the Association was in Teos from mid 3rd c. to 146 BC but due to a dispute with the city they moved to Myonessos and then to Lebedos. The envoy matter indicates the intervention of the association in public affairs.
