XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Possible
Note The presence of an association in this inscription depends on the restoration of ll. 6-9: ἔδοξεν τῶ[ι κοινῶι τῶν δεῖνα, ἐπειδὴ Καλ|λίμαχο]ς τῶν ὁμοτίμων τοῖς συγγ[ενέσι καὶ στρατηγὸς | καὶ νο]μάρχης τοῦ Παθυρίτου καὶ το[ῦ ἐπιτάγματος ἱππ|άρχης] ἐπ’ ἀνδρῶν κτλ edoxen to[i koinoi ton deina epeide Kallimacho]s ton homotimon tois syng[enesi kai strategos kai no]marches tou Pathyritou kai to[u epitagmatos hipparches] ep'andron etc. The dedication to Hermes and Heracles (gymnasial deities par excellence) in l. 3 may point towards a gymnasial environment and this dedication may have been set up by the κοινὸν τῶν ἀπὸ τοῦ γυμνασίου koinon ton apo tou gymnasiou (however the space available in the lacuna does not allow for such an expression) or an association of ex-ephebes. The fragmentary state of the inscription does not allow any safe conclusion.
