XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Certain
Note Although the term phratra stands usually for a civic subdivision in Hellenistic Kyme (I.Kyme 13 - third decree of Archippe; I.Kyme 55 - funerary inscription), in this case it probably designates a private association as is suggested by the formula he peri. This is also corroborated by the late date of the inscription (ii-iii AD).
