Hide this section VII. ORGANIZATION

ii. Leadership Given the title of τεχνάρχης, technarche (Salamine de Chypre XIII.1 43, l. 2) of M. Titus (?) Pantischeinos Athenion, the donor of the dedication, he probably acted as the leader of the association (see BE 1976: no. 750).

Hide this section XII. NOTES

i. Comments Only the possible name and title of the leader of the alleged association is attested: at all events, he acted in his private capacity when setting up the inscription (l. 2: ἐκ τῶν ἰδίων, ek ton idion). The techne implied in his title of technarches may refer to broader disciplines than simple sculpture.

Hide this section XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Possible
Note Given the lack of information, on the basis of the sole title of technarches one can only suppose the existence of a possible private association headed by the man.
