the league's institutions are well attested through a series of inscriptions for its ptolemaic period, but it appears that the main characteristics were present already under antigonus, and according to richard billows "the evidence for the ptolemaic period can be used (with due caution) for the antigonid period" as well. as walther schwahn commented, the constitution of the league of islanders shows "distinct differences" from the constitutions of other contemporary greek leagues, since "the league did not exist in the interests of its members, but to the advantage of a powerful patron". the exact membership of the league can not be determined with accuracy, but it certainly comprised mykonos, kythnos, keos, and probably also ios under antigonus, while naxos, andros, amorgos, and paros are also attested under the ptolemies. it is possible, but unlikely, that samos and others of the southern sporades were also members during the ptolemaic period. the membership of the sacred island of delos, which played a central role in the league, has been disputed by walther kolbe, who argued that delos remained independent of the league; most scholars however consider it to have been a full member of the league.
