Resolved by the Boule and the People. Philainetos, son of Philophron, introduced the motion. Since | Nikagoras, son of Aristarchos, a Rhodian, having been sent by the kings, Demetrios | and Seleukos (I), to both the Ephesian people and the other Greeks | and having been brought before the People, spoke about the relationship existing ∥ between them and about the good will which they continue to have for | the Greeks, and (since) he renewed the friendship which he previously had | with the city, it has been resolved by the Boule and the People | that they praise Nikagoras for the good will which he continues to have for the | kings and the People and crown him with a gold wreath ∥ and announce (it) at the Ephesia in the theatre. They shall also grant citizenship to him | [on an equal] and like (basis) just as to the other benefactors, and he shall also have | a front seat at the contests and the right of import and export both in war | [and in] peace and exemption from taxation for whatever he imports or exports {or} to his own home | [and the right of access to] the Boule and People immediately after the sacred business.
