Decree of the orgeones [of Amynos and Asklepios and Dexion?]

IG II² 1259 Date: 313/2 BC

Theodotos proposed, since the feast-givers (histiatores) in the archonship of Theophrastos (Theuphrastou) (313/2),^[1] Antikles son of Memnon and Kleitophon son of D[emophi]los, took care well and with love of honour (philotimōs) (5) of both the collective things (koinōn) and the sacrifices, to praise them and crown them with a foliage crown, so that others may also act with love of honour regarding the orgeones, because they repay . . . (10) . . . ^[2]

Transliterations on Places on

[1] There were archons of this name in 340/39 and 313/2 BC, but the lettering of this inscription favours the latter date (IG II²; S. G. Byrne, Athenian Onomasticon). [2] This stele was found reused as lining for the fountain in the sanctuary of Amynos, which makes it likely that it was originally a decree of the orgeones of Amynos and Asklepios and Dexion, on whom see SEG 26.135 and IG II² 1253. On orgeones generally, see Sokolowski, LSCG 45 with notes. On the sanctuary, see IG II³ 4, 902 with notes.
