XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Probable
Note The use of the term koinon combined with the term thiasitai and the attestation of the group in a list of guarantors for the sale of property certainly indicate an association; whether it was 'private' is difficult to establish. Cf. Étienne 1990: 42, n. 21.
