Poem on a monument associated with the temple of the Dionysiasts linked to the house of Dionysios (see IG II² 1325 on this site).
This sanctuary, O Lord, Dionysios erected here for you, and a fragrant sanctuary (temenos), and statues in your likeness, and everything else, not thinking that he might increase his wealth in his home as much as to revere your customs, O Bacchos. In return, Dionysos, be appeased and may you grant safety to his house and family, and to your entire society (thiasos).
Translation by: Kloppenborgτόνδε νεώ σοι, ἄναξ, Διονύσιος εἵσατο τῆιδε | καὶ τέμενος θυόεν καὶ ξόαν’ εἴκελά σοι | καὶ πάντ’, οὐ πλοῦτον κρίνας πολυάργυρον αὔξειν | ἐν δόμωι ὡς τὸ σέβειν, Βάκχε, τὰ σοὶ νόμιμα. || [ἀ]νθ’ ὧν, ὦ Διόνυσ’, ὢν ἵλαος οἶκον ἅμ’ αὐτοῦ | [καὶ] γενεὴν σώιζοις πάντα τε σὸν θίασον.
