The author elaborates further on the understanding of the term startos as a term connoting the adult male members of the pula. In addition, a new reading of the relevant passages of the Great Code of Gortyn suggests that the pula’s involvement in the marriage of an heiress is not evidence for tribal endogamy in Gortyn. Both of these conclusions emphasise the political role of the pula in fifth century Gortyn.
