X. ACTIVITIES

Deities worshipped Zeus Mossyneus
iv. Honours/Other activities The priest of an unknown group had dedicated a statue, an altar and the substruction of the altar to Zeus Mossyneus and the demos (probably of Mossyna). After him, other voluntary contributors (οἱ ἐπανγελάμενοι, hoi epangelamenoi, ll. 4-5) are mentioned with their names and the sums they have donated. One of them has also given an oinoposion (l. 9).

XI. INTERACTION

i. Local interaction The group evidently interacted with the demos, who was certainly the recipient of the oinoposion mentioned; the question is whether or not the group of donators was an association.
