Notes |
The Greek designation Greek doumos (sometimes transliterated in Latin as dumus) is used in religious associations to refer to the club-house and metonymically to the association as such. The title (?) memuiasa stolidos is nowhere else attested.
The members all appear to have been women, the names suggesting an eastern origin (CAPInv. 1785)
