XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Possible
Note In the absence of the full name of the association as it came to be known from the time of Marc Antony on and due to the private nature of the monument (posthumous honorary inscription), the hieronikai putting up a monument for a deceased fellow-victor may have simply comprised victors in sacred contests. The text reveals nothing about their organization.
