XII. NOTES

i.	Comments	It is not sure if there were two different associations (a homotechnon lanarion, "woolworkers", and a synergasia eriourgon, "wooltraders"), or if it was the same association with different names or different branches. For the possibility they were also related to the association of feltworkers attested in Saittai (Dittmann-Schöne III.3.19) cf. Bakir-Barthel-Müller 1979: 176, no. 32; Pleket in SEG 29: 1198, and Dittmann-Schöne with different views (see CAPInv. 404).
