XII. NOTES

i. Comments The dating of the inscription was recently reevaluated by Badoud. Badoud dated 300a-b to 121 BC and 300c to 70 BC. Blinkenberg had originally dated the three inscriptions in Lindos II 300 to the year 70 BC. Blinkenberg based his dating on the name Νικατορίς, Nikatoris (Lindos II 300c, l. 6) who was the niece of the priest of Athana Lindia in 70 BC. Blinkenberg restored the brackets of this association as [Ἀφροδι]σιασταί, [Aphrodi]siastai (Clara Rhodos 2 (1932) 210.48, l. 14).

XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Certain
Note The descriptive term koinon (κοινόν), used together with a theophoric name element, guarantees the private character of the association.
