τὸν ϲὲ νόμων πλήθοντα, τὸν Ἰταλιώτιδα Μοῦϲαν
Ἀτθίδοϲ ἡδυεπεῖ κιρνάμενον μέλιτι
τῆιδ' Οἰκουμένιον τὸν ἀοίδιμον ἡγεμονῆα
ϲτῆϲε φίλη βουλὴ τῶν Ἀφροδιϲιέων·
τῶι γὰρ δὴ καθαρῶι φρένα καὶ χέρα, τί πλέον εὑρεῖν
μνημοϲύνηϲ ἀγαθῆϲ ἄλλο πάρεϲτι γέραϲ ;

ΧΜΓ

i: The devoted City-Council of the Aphrodisians set you up here, Oikoumenios, the famous governor, you who, replete with the knowledge of Laws, hast mixed the Italic Muse with the sweet-spoken honey of the Attic one. For a man of pure mind and unsullied hand can find no honor greater than a good remembrance of himself.

[^1]: You who are full of knowledge of laws, who have blended the Italian Muse with the sweet-voiced honey of the Attic, Oikoumenios, the famous governor, the friendly council of the Aphrodisians has set you up here; for what greater reward than that of being well remembered can the man find who is pure in mind and in hand?

[^1: i]

[^2]: ?Mary bore Christ. God, help.

[^2: ii]

[^3]: Dich, der du voll bist von Kenntnis der Gesetze, der du die italische Muse gemischt hast mit dem süssredenden Honig der attischen Sprache, diesen hier, den Oikumenios, den vielbesungenen Statthalter hat der befreundete Rat von Aphrodisias aufgestellt; denn welche grössere Ehrengabe kann ein Mann, rein im Sinn und an den Händen, finden als gutes Gedenken?
