To good fortune. . . . It was resolved by the (?) . . . devotees of Bacchos (Bakchistai) in the regular assembly (synodos): Since Ladamos son of Dionysophanes, Alexandrian, belonging among those at the court of the successors (of Alexander), who has been stationed over Thera by the kings, being well-disposed towards the devotees of Bacchos and demonstrating many great things, has put effort into important matters both on previous occasions–with great consequence–(10) and in current circumstances. Being dispatched by the kings and posted over the city and us and following in every way the policies of the kings and his noble character in his relations with us and all the others, he continues to go around demonstrating his love of humanity, neglecting nothing on any occasion in terms of effort and love of honor. Therefore, in order that the association may also show (20) those who lead all the best kinds of honors, it was resolved that Ladamos son of Dionysophanes, his wife, and his descendants are members of the society (thiasitai), and that they share (?) the rights possessed by other members of the society. . .
