In the 290th year of the Sullan era during the month of Peritios, Ammianos and Hermogenes, sons of Tryphon, arrive (sic.), asking the gods Men Motyllites, Zeus Sabazios, Artemis Anaitis, and the great senate and council of the gods and asking the village (katoikia) and the sacred doumos–association that they might find mercy, (10) since they were punished because they overcame their father, who was acknowledging the power of the gods, and their father did not receive mercy. But after he met his end, they wrote “No one should ever disparage the gods” for the sake of his first written proclamations, and they set it up, blessing (20) the gods.
