| i.a. | Source type(s) | Epigraphic source(s) |
| i.b. | Document(s) typology & language/script |
I.Eph(esos) 2080 records a donation of four diastyla (l. 7), made to the association by M. Fulvius Publicianus Nikephoros. I.Eph(esos) 2081 was apparently the topos-inscription designating the respective diastyla (l. 2). In greek. |
| i.c. | Physical format(s) | Both inscriptions are written on marble pillars. |
| ii. | Source(s) provenance | Both inscriptions were found in the theatre, but the content indicates that they originally came from a columned street. |
VI. BUILT AND VISUAL SPACE
| ii. | References to buildings/objects | Διάστυλα, diastyla: Places between the columns of a hall, where professional associations could work and sell their products. The association had four of them. |
VIII. PROPERTY AND POSSESSIONS
| ii. | Realty | The association received (as did 7 other professional associations) διάστυλα, diastyla in a columned hall built (or rather renovated) by the asiarches and prytanis M. Fulvius Publicianus Nikephoros (on the location in a 'high traffic area', cf. Kalinowski 2002: 125-7). |

XIII. EVALUATION
| i. | Private association | Probable |
| Note | Professional associations in the 2nd/3rd century were often very close to the official civic institutions, but they probably remained essentially private associations. | |
| ii. | Historical authenticity | Certain |
