The editors of SEG clarify that this most likely involves a group of tax-farmers responsible for collecting a taxation of one thirtieth (tricesima) on transmitted goods. The title "father" would refer to either a benefactor or a leader with some role within the group (see Harland 2009).
Lucius Gaius Solon, father of the association (koinon) of the thirtieth, dedicated this.
