VII. ORGANIZATION

ii. Leadership [?Μου]σαῖος ἀρχερανισ[τάς], [Mou]saios(?) archeranistas
The inscription solely records the fragmentary of the leader of a group. This may have been an eranos or an association with another name (e.g. thiasos).

XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Probable
Note Nothing is really known about the context, but given the preserved title archeranistas, a private group seems highly probable (cp. other instances from Rhodes: e.g. CAP Inv. 10 and CAP Inv. 1612).
