The Council and the People honoured Jason Prabreas, son of Menodotos the son of Menander, a fine and good man of a prominent family which is glorious and one which contributed to the founding of the fatherland; he was a high-souled and glorious gymnasiarch and stephanephoros, a high priest of the Augusti and twice president of gamnes; he completed at his own expense for the archive building, together with Julia Paula his wife, the whole of the surrounding portico of the south stoa from the foundations, and the hall within it with its ?decoration and its libraries and the two two-storeyed workshops; and of the eastern portico from the foundations eight pairs of columns, and eight pairs of columns transferred, according to the decree, from the old portico; and of the western portico one pair of columns, adding the capitals to all the columns of this portico; and to all the columns adding the architraves and the sculpted panels with animal/floral decoration and the cornices; and adding to five of its columns which had only [?] all the remaining column-drums; and for the northern hall and the exedra he had made all the missing white marble elements with the roofs and the columns and libraries in the hall and the stucco-work and all the rest; and he completed nineteen (?) workshops with those in the exedra; and for the whole peristyle he provided rafters and tiling and a roof, and it was completed by him at his own expense together with all the building's doorways.
