| i.b. | Document(s) typology & language/script | Greek dedication by four individuals to the gods. |
| ii. | Source(s) provenance | Byrne 2008 based on the prosopography suggests that the likeliest origin of the inscription may be Eleusis. Clinton (2025) confirms that conclusion. |
IX. MEMBERSHIP
| i. | Number | Four members are listed. |
| ii. | Gender | Men |
| Note |
The recorded four names of the members are male names. Σάτυρος Φιλίππου, Athenian Onomasticon s.v. (43). Φιλοκράτης Φιλίππου, Athenian Onomasticon s.v. (72). Φωκιάδης Τεισίου, Athenian Onomasticon s.v. (2). Καλλένικος Εὐθύμου, Athenian Onomasticon s.v. (2). |
|
| iii. | Age | Adults |
| v. | Relations | Σάτυρος Φιλίππου, Satyros Filippou, and Φιλοκράτης Φιλίππου, Filokrates Filippou, are probably brothers. |
X. ACTIVITIES
| iii. | Worship | The restored reference to θεοί, theoi, (l. 1) may suggest worship by the group. Clinton (2025) contests the restoration and suggests <τ>ο<ῦ> [ἱεροῦ], <t>o<u> [hierou], equally unlikely. |
