XII. NOTES

i. Comments An international synod? The connection of this text with a group of artists, athletes, or sacred victors (of which there are many references) depends on the use of the term στεφανε[ιτῶν, (l. στεφανιτῶν) stephaniton in line 6: if the restoration of the term is correct, it is likely that the group mentioned here is the same as CAPInv. 1912

XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Possible
Note Given the issues with the damage to the text, it seems best to posit that this is possibly a private association.
