. . . and if a member . . . of the society members (thiasōtai) . . . and if any of them should die. . . or a son or a . . . or a father or whoever is his closest relative in the society (thiasos), and they shall attend the carrying out of the deceased – both the members and all the friends (philoi). And if a member should be wronged, they and all the friends shall come to his assistance, so that everyone might know that we show piety to the gods and to our friends. To those who do these things, may many blessings come upon them, their descendants and their ancestors. Whenever the society members have ratified this law, let there be nothing to take precedence over it. And if someone should either speak or act in contravention of the law, an accusation against him may be lodged by any of the society members who so wishes. If he convicts him, let them assess the penalty, whatever seems appropriate to the association (koinon).
