Notes
The dendrophori at Lugdunum probably formed two associations, as did the fabri tignuarii and the centonarii; one of the Colonia, one of the community of consistentes. The inscriptions, however, are inconclusive regarding the relations between both groups.
  
two confirm the existence of a corpus dendrophororum augustalium that was almost certainly connected to the Colonia:
  • dendro/phoro Aug(ustali) Lug(uduni) eiusdemq(ue) / corporis curat(ori) (CIL 13, 01961)
  • dendrophoro Au/gustal(i) q(uaestori) corporis e/iusd(em) (CIL 13, 02026)
 
another inscription may be linked to this group:
  • IIIIIIvir Aug(ustalis) item / dendrophorus (CIL 13, 01751)
 
one inscription confirms the presence of a group of dendrophori consistentes but does not specify their corporate status:
  • dendrophori / Luguduni consistentes (CIL 13, 01752)
 
one is too fragmentary to be useful
  • [[---] dendro]ph[or--- (CIL 13, 01723)
