| Note |
Several inscriptions from Teos mention “(all) the thiasoi” as commemorators of deceased persons, often in conjunction with other, public bodies (the Ephebes, the neoi, the gerousia, the demos). SEG 2: 604 is special because here, the thiasoi issue a regulation for a grave that includes fines to be paid to the gerousia. All this points to the closeness of thiasoi and civic institutions in Teos (cf. in general Boulay 2013: 256-7). The question remains if the thiasoi were actually part of the institutional apparatus of the city, or if they just joined the official bodies on certain occasions. It is also not clear how the thiasoi interacted. Some insights are offered by BCH 4: 164, no. 21, where three associations are under the leadership of the same man, whose brother is the leader of a board of magistrates. Apparently, members of the local elite were responsible for establishing and maintaining a network of groups capable of collective action, some of them clearly official, others somewhere in between public and private. |
