Rhamnous awards divine honours to king Antigonos

I Rhamnous 7 Date: 262-240 BC
 
Elpinikos son of Mnesippos of Rhamnous proposed: since Antigonos the king, and saviour of the People, continues to be a benefactor of the Athenian People and (5) because of this the People honoured him with honours on a par with the gods (timais isotheois),[1] for good fortune, the Rhamnousians shall decide: to sacrifice to him on the nineteenth of Hekatombaion, at the gymnastic competition of the great Nemesia,[2] (10) and to wear crowns (stephanēphorein), and the market tax (agorastikon)[3] shall provide the means for the demesmen to make this sacrifice; the demarch and whoever is appointed treasurer shall take care of the sacrifice; (15) and (they) shall inscribe this decree on a stone stele and stand it [by the altar?] of king Antigonos . . . . . . . . . . . .
