ἡ βουλὴ τὸν πᾶϲι προϲηνέα τόνδε Μένανδρον
πολλῶν ἀντ' ἀγαθῶν ϲτῆϲεν ἀμειβομένη
ὃϲ μεγάλῃ χαρίεντα πόλι θρεπτήρια τίνων
δαϲμοὺϲ πρηΰναϲ πᾶϲιν ἔθηκε φάοϲ

The Council, in exchange for many benefits, set up this statue of Menandros, who was affable to all, and who, making a welcome repayment for his rearing to the great city, moderated her tribute, and established light for all.

Der Rat hat diesen Mann hier, den Menandros, der zu allen freundlich war, aufgestellt, Dank erwidernd seinen vielen guten Taten, der unserer grossen Stadt Dank für das Grossziehen erstattend die Steuern ermässigt und für alle Licht geschaffen hat.
