XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Probable
Note The editor identified the text as an account of a "kultverein". It certainly would appear to be so based on the contents: column 1 details the items contributed; column 2 is a list of the individual contributions from members. There is no mention of a term for the association (koinon, synodos, plethos, or the like), however, although that need not exclude the possibility that we have an account from an association. The activities and apparent membership of this group in fact suggests that this is probably a private association.
