Stephanos to the Magistrates, Council and People of the Plarasans and Aphrodisians, greetings.

When your envoys came to me in Laodicea and handed me the decrees from you, I made every effort and, after a most careful search, restored to them all the slaves they recognized from the hands of others and from any own people; and all the free men too against whom, they said, information had been laid in the time of Labienus, I handed over to you in order that they may undergo the punishments you think appropriate. Together with these I have restored to your ambassadors and magistrates a golden crown which had been carried off by Pythes son of Oumanios.
