The synod (synodos) gathered around Kallisthenes II the priest, Julius Sambinas the father (patēr), who has a role in the court, Methakos (?) the synagogue-leader (synagōgos), and the rest of the society-members (thiasitai) set up the monument (stele) in memory of Kallistos son of Bathyllos in the 511th year on the 8th of the month of Loos.
