In the month of Soterios on the thirteenth day in the regular assembly, it was resolved by the People (dēmos) on the proposal of the committee–members: Since Atalante, daughter of Piaterabis, grand–daughter of Pillakoos, great grand–daughter of Kinnounis, a widow, is equipped with nobility and modesty and demonstrates every womanly virtue, working hard to follow her ancestors in frequently pursuing honor in relation to the city by covering (10) remarkable expenses, advancing funds, and offering gifts and priestly services. Since, during a great food shortage, she had promised to supply to the masses an abundance of grain and, fulfilling this pursuit of honor, she supplied grain from the month of Idalianios to the end of the year. It was resolved that she be honored by the People with a bronze statue and a gold crown, with the statue being set up in a conspicuous place (20) near the stoa of Attalos on the wall on the southern side of the road. That is, the wall where the prizes for victories in the gymnastic contests for boys were hung, which the director of the boys, Hermaios son of Oplon, has set up. The artisans (technitai) are also to be permitted to set up, in the same place, a statue of Atalante, whom they had honored, just as they requested. The decree is to be inscribed on the statue set up by the People, (30) but the artisans may inscribe whatever they want on the statue which they set up.
