XII. NOTES

i. Comments The inscription bears two archons' names, Lysandros (52/1 BC) and Aristaios (62/1 BC).
It is not certain that the surviving portions of the text belong to one inscription. In the moulding there was space for perhaps three lines of text. The first part, in which the term ἀγωνοθετήσας, agonothetesas, occurs, looks like a dedication.

XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Possible
Note The current state of the inscription does not allow any firm conclusions. The mere reference to a chief-eranistes suggests that there was a group, probably a private one (thiasotai, eranistai or any other in -stai).
