Here an association of soldiers devoted to the god Hermes honors a man from a local district.
Python son of Nikomachos of Ladarmios (i.e. a village or district) has been crowned by the independent (autonomoi) devotees of Hermes who are tent-mates (synskanoi = syskēnoi) with a gold crown because of the virtue and goodwill which he continues to have towards the association (koinon) of independent devotees of Hermes who are tent-mates. This is the dedication of the association for the gods.
