During the year that Demokles was leader (archon), 17th of Mounichion, at the regular assembly, Noumenias proposed the following motion: Whereas the supervisors (epimelētai) and the secretary (grammateus) who were appointed by the association (koinon) during the leadership (archonship) of Demokles have managed the sanctuary honorably and ambitiously and performed all of the sacrifices in accordance with ancestral traditions and laws, and adorned the (statue of the) goddess and constructed the original altar; and for these things they have contributed sixty-five drachmas from their own resources; and having had a silver vessel, valued at fifty-seven drachmas three obols, made at their own expense, they dedicated it to the goddess; and further, they took responsibility for those who had died, acting honorably and ambitiously; and they rendered accurate accounts of all the matters they had administered. For good fortune, it was resolved by the society-members (thiasōtai) to commend the supervisors, Eukles, Thallos and Zenon, and the secretary Ktesias and to crown each of them with an olive wreath, on account of the excellence and zeal that have shown to the association, and for their piety towards the goddess. Their crowns and commendations shall be announced at each of the sacrifices, along with the other benefactors. They shall also receive from the association the other honors, as they deserve, so that all who happen to be appointed to the role of supervisor might be ambitious towards the goddess and the association, knowing that they will receive appropriate thanks. The supervisors for the year following Demokles’ leadership (archonship) shall inscribe this decree on a monument (stele) and set it up in the sanctuary.
(The association honors:)
Eukles, Zeno, Thallos, Ktesias.
