bibliography            

Very fragmentary decree copied by Thomas Smith around 1670. There is mention of Hadrian as "new Dionysos", which suggests that this is another decree of the Dionysiac performers, in this case involving quadrennial contests.

Too fragmentary to translate.

Translation by: Harland



... ἐψηφισάμεθα τάχειον | ἀγῶνα πενταετη[ρικόν] ... | ... Ἁδριανῷ Καί|σαρι, νέῳ Διονύσῳ ...
