IV. NAME AND TERMINOLOGY

Name elements

Kinship-related:

The term Andragathidai was interpreted as a gentilician referring to a social group, a phratry or a genos (Helly 1995: 320; Decourt and Tziafalias 2001: 14; Darmezin and Tziafalias 2007: 28; Tziafalias and Helly 2013: 208, n. 162; Helly forthcoming; Mili 2015: 349).

Topographical:

The phrase hoi en Kylliadais gives a toponymic precision for the group (Andragathidai). It has been argued that this was the site where they resided (Decourt and Tziafalias 2001: 147; Darmezin and Tziafalias 2007: 28). It has been also argued that this is a category of toponyms that derive from gentilicians that are related to heritage areas; it means 'the land of the Kylliai', while Kyllos is a common personal name in Thessaly (Helly 1995: 320; Tziafalias and Helly 2013: 208, n. 162; Helly forthcoming)

XIII. EVALUATION

i.	Private association	Possible
	Note	Although this seems to be a civic group, the possible connexion of the topographic element in the name with a private group originating from the same inhabited area allows the question to remain open.
