Comments |
The date is based on the lettering and the orthography of the names, see comments by Rizakis (2008: 269).
Since the name of the association daitaleis means ‘banqueters’, it seems likely that certain common banquets of the association took place.

Note |
The daitaleis appear as an organized group with a grammateus who also served as an eponymous official. It included both, men and women. Their name indicates their habit of common banquets.
