For good fortune! When Simos son of Asklapiades was king, during the month of Dionysios, when Hagemonos son of Pythion was president, the society members (thiasitai) resolved that a temple should be constructed for the god. Let those of the society members who want to contribute towards the construction promise whatever amount each chooses. Those who have promised a gold coin are granted a crown of honor for life and their name inscribed on the monument. Those promising less than a gold coin (stater) up to thirty silver pieces (drachmas) are granted their name inscribed and a crown of glory during the triennial festival for life. The rest who have promised less are granted their name inscribed on the monument.
Let three men be appointed from among all the society members to ensure that the temple is constructed magnificently and quickly. Once they have been chosen, these men will receive the sums from those who have promised and they will administer the expenses, and the written account of the management will be handed over. Upon the completion of the work, those chosen for overseeing construction will be granted a crown for the meetings that the society members will hold during the triennial festival.
