Translation
The Council and the People and the Gerousia honoured also after his death with the finest and highest honours Attinas son
of Theodoros a man of one of the first and most honourable families; he had lived a life notable for virtue and nobility and
gave to his city all honourable and most brilliant services; and having previously shown the generosity of his feelings to
the city by undying memorials through the things which he provided for the city nobly and generously because of his virtue
and goodwill to the People [? . . .
