IV. NAME AND TERMINOLOGY

ii. Name elements
Personal:Ἀριστειδείοι, Aristeideioi - From the Greek personal name , (LGPN s.v. no. 3). The compound name likely suggests a founder or a benefactor of the association, (cf. Thomsen (forthcoming), Gabrielsen 1997 p. 126-7, Maiuri 1916 p. 141, Poland 1909 p. 73-6).
Professional:τῶν συνεργαξαμένων τὸν ἱππόδρομον, ton synergaxamenon ton Hippodromon - Meaning those working together on the Hippodrome, it is unclear from the inscription in what capacity the association 'worked together'.
Theophoric:Ἁλιασταί, Haliastai - From the god Helios, a deity with a prominent position in the mythology of Rhodes (Morelli, I culti in Rodi [Pisa, 1959], 15-20, 94-99).

Ἀθαναιισταί, Athanaistai - From the doric spelling of Athena (Morrelli, ibid. 2-13, 80-89).

Ἑρμαϊσταί, Hermaistai - From the god Hermes (Morrelli, ibid. 44-45, 133-35).
Note Although the descriptive term has been omitted in this case, this should still be seen as a κοινὸν, koinon, since this association, quite clearly, is a subdivision of the Ἁλιασταί Ἀθαναισταί Ἑρμαισταί Ἀριστειδείοι κοινὸν, Haliastai Athanaistai Hermaistai Aristeideioi koinon (CAPInv. 2061

XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Certain
Note The descriptive term koinon (κοινὸν), used together with theophoric name elements, a personal name element, and a professional occupation, guarantees the private character of the association.
