The association (koinon) of Hermogeneian Aphrodite-devotees (Aphrodisiastai) honored Hermogenes of Phaselis with a praising commendation, with a crown of olive, with two gold crowns, with a bronze image, with the title of benefactor, and with a proclamation of the honor in the meetings (synodoi) forever on account of his virtue, goodwill, and love of glory. . . towards us (?).
