iii.	Worship	The name ὀργεῶνες (orgeones) denotes a cult group
	Deities worshipped	If the relief is an indicator, then one of the following three or all the three, Zeus Meilichios, Kybele/Meter, Artemis/Kore

XI. INTERACTION

i.

Local interaction

It is possible to identify the honorand bearing the rare personal name Theokomos, with a Theokomos attested in an unpublished decree from a koinon thiasoton of Herakles Pankrates, mentioned by S. Tracy, Athens and Macedon, p. 51 and Athenian democracy in Transition, p. 51. If this is right, then it is only the second case on an individual member of a cult association participating in a second one.

XIII. EVALUATION

i.	Private association	Certain
	Note	The use of the term κοινὸν (koinon) is a safe indicator of the corporate character of the group.
