The Council and the People and the Gerousia and the Young Men honoured Attalos Adrastos, son of Adrastos son of Neikoteimos
son of Artemidoros son of Zenon Hierax, gymnasiarch, and stephanephorus in perpetuity, having given and dedicated, during
his life time, many and great things both to the Goddess and to his fatherland, for sacrifices and for feasts for the citizens,
and for perpetual gymnasiarchies and stephanephorates, and, by his will, having left nearly all his wealth to his fatherland.
