In the year that Kydenor was leader (archōn), third of Anthesterion in the regular assembly, Batrachos made the following motion: Whereas those members who have been appointed annually to roles of supervision have carried them out honorably and with zeal, both in respect to the sacrifices – as it is customary for them – and in respect to all the other matters which the law enjoins, and have rendered their accounts in order, it was resolved by the association to commend and to crown them and to inscribe their roles, year by year, beginning from the leadership (archonship) of Polyeuktos up to that of Theophemos; and that the association should choose three men who, after receiving the money that has been set aside for this purpose, shall set up a monument (stele) in the temple and shall inscribe it with this decree and with the names of each of those who have been thus crowned; and those chosen to do this shall render an account of the money that was set aside for the votive plaque. The following were chosen: Batrachos, Dokimos and Krates.
