Citizenship for Alexandros of Thessaly
IG II3 1 1265 Date: 191/0 BC?
In the archonship of Dionysios (191/0?), on the
penultimate day (deuterai met' eikadas) of Elaphebolion. Assembly
in the Piraeus. Nikias son of Polyxenos of Poros proposed: since Alexandros makes
(5) himself useful (euchrēston) both collectively and individually
to those citizens who encounter him,
for good fortune, the Council shall decide that the
presiding committee allotted to preside at the forthcoming
Assembly shall put these matters on the agenda,
(10) and submit the opinion of the
Council to the People that it seems good to the Council
to praise Alexandros son of Kallistratos
of Thessaly[1] and to crown him
with a foliage crown; and that he should also be given
(15) citizenship, when he has been scrutinised in
court according to the laws; and the
court presidents (thesmothetas), as and when they fill
the court with five hundred and one
jurors, shall co-operate to introduce the
(20) scrutiny, and shall put him
to the vote, even if he is not present; and shall enroll him
in the tribe, deme and phratry
that he chooses . . .
