The μνῆμα (mnema) is made by ⟦Kendeas⟧ and Kallimachos, two Selgian stonemasons (cf. CAPInv. 1791).

Leadership |
In contrast to CAPInv. 1786, where the group is formed around an individual, from whom it also takes its name and who obviously is the leader of the group, there seems to be no hierarchy between the members of the association.

Members |
Four men are named: Pramoeis (?), son of Tetes (?), Kouailis (?), son of Douemis (?), Gisnes (?), son of Kotes (?), Keraias (?) son of Epphisis (?)

Laws and rules |
The regulations contain a strict prohibition against a member selling his share. The funerary fine is divided into a monetary payment (400 drachmas) and a payment in animals, with the latter going to the god Pluto. The recipient of the monetary fine is not named - in all probability it is the association itself.
