XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Certain
Note Little is known about this association and its context. But simply on the basis of its name and by comparison with other highly similar boundary stones of the burial plots of associations near the city of Kos (more than 40 in number, cf. e.g. CAPI no. 1826), we can be confident that it constituted a private association.
