Should the builders (oikodomoi) associated with … Epigonos—that is, the contractors for the section of the theatre in which the prophet of the god, the late Ulpianus, was superintendent of works and the architect, Menophilos, assigns the work—fashion and construct the arches and the vaults over the columns or should they consider other work? The god answered: For good uses of wise building techniques, (10) it is expedient to consult a skillful man for the best suggestions, performing sacrifices to thrice–born Pallas and strong Herakles.
