X. ACTIVITIES

ii. Meetings and events Given the fact that the group appears in the account of a beer seller as recipient of two and a half choes of beer (around 8 litres), the members in all likelihood organised drinking-parties.

XII. NOTES

i. Comments According to Bastianini and Gallazzi 1991: 45-46, who supplied the reading synodos (recorded in BL X 276) instead of the reading συνο(ικίᾳ) synoikia recorded in BL VII 27, the name Antonia after whom the association was named probably referred to the titular of an imperial estate: the members would be employed in that estate.
iii. Bibliography Bastianini, G. and Gallazzi, C. (1991), 'Un'iscrizione inedita di Tebtynis e la synodos di Doryphorus', ZPE 89 (1991): 44-46.

XIII. EVALUATION

i. Private association Certain
Note If the reading synodos by Bastianini and Gallazzi 1991: 45-46 is correct, as it seems the case, the terminology employed, the type of text, and the dealings recorded point to a private association.
