Gods!
When Lysiadas was civic leader (archon), on the second of the month of Skirophorion in the regular assembly, Batarchos proposed:
Since the supervisors (epimelētai) and secretary (grammateus) supervised the sacrifices for the gods according to ancestral custom and all the other things which the laws prescribe. To good fortune. It was resolved by the society-members (thiasōtai = thiasitai) to praise them and to crown each of them with an olive crown on account of their virtue and righteousness, and the treasurer is to allocate 15 drachmas for the crowning. . . . And those (?). . . receiving the money . . . are to set it up in the temple (hieron) of Bendis (?).
