VI. BUILT AND VISUAL SPACE

i.

Archaeological remains

Sarapieion B (GD 96) lies in the Inopos river valley, on a terrace west of the Sanctuary of the Oriental Gods. It was probably constructed at the end of the 3rd or the beginning of the 2nd c. BC, as suggested by a dedication that dates to 196 BC (CAP Inv. 222). It seems to have fallen out of use sometime in the period of the Second Athenian Occupation.
Sarapieion B may not have operated as a sanctuary of Sarapis but rather as a meeting place of associations centered around the cult of the Egyptian gods, appropriately equipped with dining facilities for banquets.

VII. ORGANIZATION

ii.	Leadership	ἀρχιθιασίτης, archithiasites (IG XI.4 1228, ll. 2, 15)
iii.	Members	θιασῖται, thiasitai (IG XI.4 1228, l. 20; 1229 l. 20)
iv.	Officials	γραμματεύς, grammateus (IG XI.4 1228, ll. 3, 24; 1229, ll. 3, 24)

IX. MEMBERSHIP

i.	Number	26 members (including the two officials)
ii.	Gender	Men
iv.	Status	Apollonios, the secretary, was melanephoros (IG XI.4 1228, ll. 4, 26-27) The association was of a diverse make up. The archithiasites, Dionysios son of Noumenios, was from Kassandria in Macedonia. The name Baliton is of Phoenician origin (Bal) (RICIS no. 202/0140; Baslez).
v.	Relations	Dionysios son of Noumenios Kassandreus (IG XI.4 1228 ll. 3, 14; 1229 ll. 3, 14) is also attested in a contributors' list from Sarapieion A (IG XI.4 1216 l. 9). Apollonios, secretary and melanephoros, is also attested as an eranistes in IG XI.4 1223 l. 5. Apollonios is also known by the Delian inventories of Sarapieion C, where he is attested as the donor of a poterion (RICIS 202/0421 bB II l. 71 = 202/0422 a l. 60 = 202/0424 A II l. 97). Aischrion is also attested as an eranistes in IG XI.4 1223 l. 9. Ariston may be identified with the founder/ leader of the koinon ton dekadiston kai dekadistrion (IG XI.4 1227 l. 3).

X. ACTIVITIES

iii.	Worship	The koinon made a dedication to Sarapis, Isis and Anubis (IG XI.4 1228, l. 1) and another one to Isis only (IG XI.4 1229, l. 1).
	Deities worshipped	Sarapis Isis Anubis
iv.	Honours/Other activities	The association honoured and crowned two officials, the archithiasites and the grammateus. The archithiasites was honoured on account of his piety (eusebeia) towards the gods and his zeal (philotimia) towards the thiasitai (IG XI.4 1228, ll. 15-20; 1229, ll. 15-20).

XII. NOTES

i.

Comments

Sarapieion B has yielded a number of inscriptions attesting to six associations, active within its premises (CAP Inv. 215; CAP Inv. 216; CAP Inv. 217; CAP Inv. 218; CAP Inv. 219; CAP Inv. 222). All inscriptions date to the first half of the 2nd c. BC. A certain degree of connectivity is to be noted among the various associations on the basis of individuals who were members of more than one association (see esp. CAP Inv. 218).

It is to be noted that the name of the honouring body in the crowns of the two inscriptions (koinon ton thiasiton) is different from that of the honorific text (koinon ton enatiston). Both names stand for the same association, though one wonders whether the different form alludes to different degrees of membership.

XIII. EVALUATION

i.	Private association	Certain
	Note	The terminology used (koinon) and the internal organisation (archithiasites, grammateus) make it certain that we have here a private association.
