The association (koinon) of contributors (eranistai) of Adonis-devotees (Adoniazontes) honored Telestas son of Teleson from the Kasarian district, a benefactor, with a complete exemption.  He is to be free from the contribution fee and he is to be crowned with an olive crown and to be proclaimed at each festival for the god Adonis.
