i. Comments The text reads: vacat στεφανωθέντες ὑπὸ τῶν θιασωτῶν ἀνέθεσαν vacat, stephanothentes hypo ton thiasoton anethesan. One would expect it to be preceded by personal names of officials of the group (e.g. X and Y and Z tamiai, etc), designating the identity of those who set up the dedication.

XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Probable
Note Given the nature and typology of the text, the thiasotai mentioned are most probably a private association (to what extent identical with any of the groups attested in the area remains unknown).
