X. ACTIVITIES

iv. Honours/Other activities Our association honoured Lapheides, the son of the priest of Athana Lindia of AD 10, with a golden wreath (χρυσέω στεφάνω], chryseo stephano). The association is listed together with other honouring bodies (public as well as private), which include the Rhodian demos and the Lindian demos: for the full list, see table in Lindos II col. 747.

XI. INTERACTION

i. Local interaction This association is listed together with a number of important public bodies (e.g. the Rhodian demos, the Lindian demos) and private associations, all of which (including our association) had awarded honours to a member of a very prominent Lindian family: Lapheides, the son of Nikasa and Lapheides, the priest of Athana Lindia in AD 10: see I.Lindos II, cols. 41-2, stemma 14.

XII. NOTES

i. Comments In his list summarizing the bodies awarding honours in I.Lindos II 301, 392a-b and 394 (ibid. col. 747), Blinkenberg listed the association in question as Λ[- - -]ασταί [- - -] (L[- - -]astai [- - - ]). However, even though these are some of the letters that have survived from the name of this association, it is far from certain that lampda was the first one.

XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Probable
Note The fact that this body is one of the last in a list containing the names of private associations makes it probable that it, too, was a private one.
