XII. NOTES

i. Comments This is not a record belonging to an association. The only argument would have been the restoration recently suggested in Jajlenko 2010: 538 and accepted in Zavojkina 2012: 82-3. Based on SEG 57: 739B, ll. 13-16 (CAPInv. 1301) Jajlenko suggests: [θιασεῖται οἱ περὶ ἱερέ]αν Τίστε[μον?] ἔστησαν τὸν λίθον Σωσιπάτρου μνήμης χάριν, [thiaseitai hoi peri hiere]an Tiste[mon?] estesan ton lithon Sosipatrou mnemes charin ([ - - ] Ἀντιστε[ - - ] ἔστησαν τὸν λίθον Σωσιπάτρου, [ - - ] Antiste[ - - ] estesan ton lithon Sosipatrou, CIRB 1089, ll. 1-5). First of all, the correct accusative is [ἱερέ]α, [hiere]a, not [ἱερέ]αν, [hiere]an. Secondly, the name Τίστεμος, Tistemos, is not otherwise attested and, moreover, little probable. Thus, this restoration is impossible.
