Claudius Tiberius Polycharmos, also called Achyrios, the father of the synagogue in Stobi, who has conducted his whole life according to Judean custom, in fulfillment of a vow has donated the rooms (oikoi) to the holy place and the dining room with three benches (triclinium), along with a portico with four rows of columns (tetrastoon), from his own resources without touching the holy revenues at all. All authority over all the upper rooms and the ownership is retained by me, Claudius Tiberius Polycharmos, and by my heirs as long as they are alive. Whoever wants to introduce a novelty against my decision shall pay 250,000 denarii to the patriarch. For this seemed good to me. The repair of the roof tiles of the upper rooms will be done by me and my heirs.
