XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Possible
Note The fragmentary state of the lines in this long inscription preclude us from identifying in more detail the name of the group; however, the visible elements could support the case of a name similar to other theophoric names, e.g. Soteriastai, Asklepiastai. Therefore, there is a possibility that here we have to do with a private association.
