VIII. PROPERTY AND POSSESSIONS

iv. Endowments The association is the recipient of an endowment: it receives 150 Denarii in order to distribute a stephanotikon at the grave (Judeich's supplement in l. 3, [στεφάνωσιν], [stephanosin], makes no sense: "coronation of the stephanotikon"? Laum 1914: 137, followed by Dittmann-Schöne 2010: 243, therefore inserted διανομήν, dianomen. The other inscriptions from Hierapolis normally use a form of δίδωμι, didomi, but στεφανωτικοῦ, stephanotikou is a genitive, so Laum is probably correct).
