(198) The aforementioned weight of the nine type-statues of the goddess, and of the twenty images to be entrusted to Eumenes, the son of Eumenes, the grandson of Theophilos, who is also a general of the city of the Ephesians, through the weight master Hermias, sacred slave of Artemis, receiving them Mousaios, sacred slave of Artemis, custodian of things deposited. The aforementioned type-statues should be placed during every regular assembly, and during the new moon’s sacrifice of the archieratic year in the theatre by the fitting people on the nine inscribed bases in three groups over the blocks set out as the dedication on the bases and the dedication in the bequest for the boule, the gerousia, the ephebeia, and (each) tribe.

In like manner (let it) be during all athletic contests, and if any other days are determined by the boule and demos. Nor let it be possible for anyone to make changes in the administration either of the type-statues of the goddess, or the images with a view toward changing the names or melting down, or in any other way to do evil, since the one who does any of these things, let him be liable for sacrilege and impiety, and none the less let the same weight be shown in the aforementioned type-statues and images, 111 pounds, having the prosecution about these things by necessity [half-line missing].  

(220) Of the 20,000 denarii dedicated by Salutaris, Salutaris will pay the interest at 9 per cent every year, amounting to 1,800 denarii, from which he will give to the secretary of the boule 450 denarii, that he carry out a distribution to the members of the boule in the sanctuary in the pronaos on the birthday of the greatest goddess Artemis, which is on the sixth of Thargelion, the distribution being already on the fifth, one denarius being given to each of those present, but the one in charge of the distribution not having the right to give to anyone absent, since (if he does) let him pay to the boule, on behalf of each person not there who has received something, a fine of … denarii. But if the exchange rate should be greater, so that he can distribute to more men, it is possible [ ] 
 
Equally he will give to the secretary of the council of the gerousia every year from the aforementioned interest 382 denarii 9 asses, that he should complete a lottery on the birthday of the goddess for the regular members of the council, to 309 men at a rate of one denarius apiece.

And let be given to the neokoroi in the house of Salutaris the dedicator, for distribution . . . . denarii, and to the farmer asiarchs who have registered, . . . . denarii for a lottery at a rate of eleven denarii, with which they will buy the things for sacrifice, the lottery being on the fifth, the secretary of the gerousia not having the right to halt the distribution or registration after the death of Salutaris, since (if he does) let him pay the fine determined in the bequest. Equally from the aforementioned interest he will give every year to the six phylarchs up to 125 denarii apiece, that they should complete a lottery of the aforementioned dedication of the goddess for 250 named individuals from each tribe, those taking part in the lottery getting 9 asses each. If the current rate of exchange should be greater, it is possible for other citizens to be allotted by the phylarchs. 

(253) Equally he will give from the aforementioned interest every year 126 denarii to the ephebarchos, that he may carry out a lottery of the annual ephebes, on the birthday of Artemis, to 250 named individuals, those winning the lottery taking up to 9 asses, and let the ephebarchos apart from these take one denarius. Equally he will give from the aforementioned interest to the high priest of Asia of the common temple of Asia in Ephesos 24 denarii and 13½ asses every year, that from these on the birthday of the goddess he complete a lottery of the theologoi in the sanctuary of Artemis, each of those who have registered with him, and winning the lottery taking at a rate of 2 denarii 13½ asses, the registration being on the fifth. Equally he will give from the aforementioned interest each year to the priestess of Artemis 18 denarii on behalf of the hymnodoi of the goddess for distribution on the birthday of Artemis. Equally he will give from the aforementioned interest at each regular assembly to two neopoioi and to a beadle 4½ asses, to carry the type-statues of the goddess and the images, from the pronaos into the theatre, and to carry them back from the theatre into the pronaos on the same day along with the guards. Equally he will give from the aforementioned interest each year 15 denarii 13½ asses to the paidonomoi, that on the birthday of the goddess they may complete a lottery of all the paides to 49 named individuals, those winning the lottery taking on that same day in the sanctuary of Artemis 4½ asses apiece, and apart from these the paidonomoi taking 9 asses apiece. Equally he will give from the aforementioned interest each year to the one who does the cleanings [ ] remaining 30 denarii, so as to clean on each occasion, when the type-statues of the goddess are carried back to the sanctuary, before they deposit them in the pronaos of Artemis. If anyone else buys this estate in accordance with [ the donor’s] own purpose, let the purchaser give regularly the aforementioned 1,800 denarii, and it shall not be permitted to pay any smaller amount contrary to the bequest [ ] but making it secure.  

(289) But if anyone buys this, and wishes to pay out more quickly the sum total of the dedication, it will be permitted for him to hand it over to the one obligated to accept it, as follows: to the treasurer of the boule the 5,000 denarii capital sum for the things dedicated to the boule. 

(293) Equally to the treasurer of the gerousia the 4,450 denarii sum for the things dedicated to the gerousia, equally to the theologoi and the hymnodoi the 255 denarii sum for the dedication, equally to the secretary of the demos the remaining 10,275 denarii sum for the dedication of the distributions to the citizens by lot among ephebes and neopoioi and beadles and for the cleanings: in order that they should lend these same (capital totals) on good security at 12 asses interest, and that the arrangements specified in the bequest, as has been described above, may be executed without delay. If, before he hands over the 20,000 denarii, or before he makes the arrangements that the interest on the sum be paid regularly from the revenue of his estates, Salutaris should die, let his heirs be liable for the discharge of the dedicated 20,000 denarii, and for the interest accruing up to the moment of the discharge, and let them be subject to the conditions of collection according to the sacred customs of the goddess and the regulations relating to loans deposited among the elders. Salutaris, in order to begin his munificence in the current year, promised to give 1,800 denarii for the aforementioned distributions and lotteries on the birthday of the goddess. Let it not be permitted to anyone, either archon, or advocate, or private citizen, to try to alter or change anything, or to make different arrangements for the administration, or to transfer by decree any of the dedicated type-statues or the silver, or its revenue, or to divert it to any other source of revenue or to any other expense, or to do any other thing against the things written above and ordered, since the thing against these things will be invalid. Whoever tries to do anything contrary to the bequest, or to the articles decreed and ratified about the bequest by the boule and the demos, let him pay toward the further adornment of the greatest goddess Artemis 25,000 denarii, and into the fiscus of the emperor another 25,000 denarii.  

(326) The aforementioned bequest should be valid for all time, just as Aquillius Proculus the benefactor and proconsul, and Afranius Flavianus, the legatus pro praetore, through letters about this bequest have confirmed and determined the aforementioned fine. Caius Vibius Salutaris, the son of Caius, from the tribe Oufentina, proposed the bequest, and dedicated the aforementioned things. 

(333) In the prytany of Tib. Cl. Antipater Iulianus, the month of Poseideon. Aquillius Proculus, vir clarissimus, to the archons of the Ephesians, to the boule, to the demos, greetings. Knowing that Vibius Salutaris was an excellent citizen in all other respects and that he had previously furnished numerous and extraordinary examples of his munificence, I held him among my most intimate friends, as was proper. And now, since he has decided to adorn the city magnificently with the greatest and most remarkable gifts for the honor of the most manifest and greatest goddess Artemis, and of the house of the emperors, and of your city, and has dedicated 20,000 denarii to the citizens for distributions and lotteries, I think, for the good things he has already done for you and now announces, you are right to give, in return for his munificence and goodwill, the things you have voted in his honor. I congratulate you for having praised this man, and for having deemed him worthy of just commendation from us, with a view toward there being more who, according to capabilities, are enthusiastic for similar things. As for the money dedicated by him, and the type-statues of the goddess and the images  

(355) [ ]  

(356) [ ]  

(357) [ ]  

(358) I wish no one now in any way, or under any pretext, to alter, or to change any of the things arranged by him. And if anyone attempts either to rescind or change any of the things ratified by you through this decree, or tries to introduce any such thing, let him be liable for 25,000 denarii toward the further adornment of lady Artemis, and another 25,000 denarii to the most holy fiscus, and every act contrary to the dedication will be nonetheless invalid. May I congratulate him that his piety toward the goddess and the Augusti, and his goodwill toward the city in the theatre now become clear to all. Farewell. 

(370) In the prytany of Tib. Cl. Antipater lulianus, the month of Poseideon. Afranius Flavianus, legatus pro praetore, to the archons of the Ephesians, to the boule, to the demos, greetings. Even if it has escaped the notice of the majority, how much goodwill and devotion he has for you, it has been demonstrated in many instances that Vibius Salutaris, a most dear friend to us, who is of the most noble rank, and over and above, being of the best character, has shown himself from his attitude toward us a friend to be numbered among our closest and most indispensable. And now that he has made clear to all his extraordinary love, which from the beginning he had toward the city, considering it proper at the same time and fitting to his life and character, to adorn and reverence the religious and public realms of your greatest and most notable city, for the honor and reverence of the most manifest goddess Artemis, and the house of the Emperors, by gifts and by a dedication of money, which things now he has given munificently, I congratulate you about this man, and myself equally, on testifying in reciprocation, and on expressing appreciation, and on rewarding him in your own behalf with suitable commendation. Wherefore I think it is owed to him by you, with a view toward more being equally enthusiastic, if this man should appear to be worthy of recompense according to merit. And it would be especially gratifying and the sweetest of things to me, if, the man whom specially of friends I honor and love, among you should be seen as worthy of recognition and honor. About the bequest of the monies, and the type-statues of the goddess, and the images, how it will be necessary to use them, and what man will have to be assigned for each transaction, I think it is reasonable for the donor to introduce a proposal, and that you so decree it. When the right things (the resolutions) should be ratified by the dedicator himself, and by you yourselves, I wish these things to hold forever in the same terms, without any subrogation, and do not want them to be abrogated, or changed through derogation by anyone, on any pretext. If anyone should attempt in any way either to recommend such a thing, or to introduce a proposal about the changing or transferring of the things ratified now by him and you, I wish this one immediately to pay a fine of 25,000 denarii to the sanctuary of the greatest goddess Artemis, and to the [fiscus of lord Caesar) gero[usia ] another 25,000 denarii, just as Aquillius Proculus, the most honored proconsul previously through the letter which he wrote to you confirmed and set the fine. Farewell. 

(414) In the prytany of Tib. Cl. Antipater lulianus, the month of Poseideon. It was resolved by the loyal boule. Concerning the things Tib. Cl. Iulianus, the son of Tib. Cl. Alexander, from the tribe Quirina, a patriot, loyal, pure, pious, secretary of the demos for the second time, and the loyal generals of the city have reported. That it may be permitted to the gold-bearers for the goddess to bring into the assemblies and the contests the type-statues and the images dedicated by Caius Vibius Salutaris from the pronaos of Artemis, the neopoioi sharing in the care, the ephebes sharing in receiving them from the Magnesian Gate, and in escorting the procession up to the Koressian Gate. It was resolved by the loyal boule, as written above, Tib. Cl. Proresius Phretorianus, loyal to the emperor, drafted the decree. Marcus Caesellius Marcianus, loyal to the emperor, drafted the decree. Tib. Cl. Iulianus, a patriot, loyal to the emperor, pure, pious, the secretary of the demos for the second time, had it engraved. 
 
(431) In the prytany of Tiberius Claudius Antipater lulianus, the month of Poseideon, it was resolved by the loyal boule. Concerning the things which Tib. Cl. Iulianus, the son of Alexander, from the tribe Quirina, a patriot and loyal, pure, pious, secretary of the demos for the second time, and the loyal generals reported: Since the priests and the sacred victors who bear gold for the goddess have promised to carry and carry back the type-statues dedicated by Vibius Salutaris and have asked as place in the theatre the first sector, where the image of Homonoia stands, let it be decreed: that they have the place and sit near the Pietas, wearing white. Let it be decreed by the loyal boule, as has been described above. C. Aufidius Bassus, loyal to the emperor, drafted the decree. L. Munatius Bassus, loyal to the emperor, drafted the decree. Nereus, son of Theophilus, loyal to the emperor, drafted the decree. 

(447) When Sextus Attius Suburanus for the second time and Marcus Asinius Marcellus were consuls, on the eighth day before the Kalends of March. In the prytany of Tib. Claudius Antipater Iulianus, the month of Anthesterion, on the second and Augustan day, Caius Vibius Salutaris, the son of Caius, from the tribe Oufentina, a lover of Artemis and Caesar, proposes a bequest, according to the preceding decree, about the things he previously dedicated to the greatest goddess Ephesian Artemis, and to the loyal boule of the Ephesians, and to the loyal gerousia of the Ephesians, and to the priests who bear the gold for the goddess Artemis and to the sacred victors on behalf of the city, and to whosoever shall be the paides of the Ephesians, and to the thesmodoi of the common temple of Asia of the Augusti at Ephesos, and to the acrobatai of Artemis, subject to lawsuits and fines, as in the bequest before this was secured: (namely) two silver images gold-gilded, so that together these, with the type-statues of the goddess, add up to the number of 31, and of silver, another 1,500 denarii, that these with the previously dedicated denarii add up to 21,500 denarii. On the condition that a silver image of Athena Pammousos, weight of 7 pounds, ½ ounce, 8 grammes, with the silver plating of its base, dedicated to Artemis and to whosoever shall be the paides of the Ephesians, be placed at every regular assembly above the block where the paides sit. 
 
(470) Equally a silver image of Sebaste Homonoia Chrysophoros, weight of 6 pounds, with the silver plating of its base, dedicated to Artemis, and to whosoever the priests who bear the gold and the sacred victors on behalf of the city shall be, be placed at every assembly above the block, where the sacred victors sit. The aforementioned weight of the images and bases was furnished to Eumenes, the son of Eumenes, the grandson of Theophilus, the same man who is also a general of the city of the Ephesians, through the public weigher Hermias, sacred slave of Artemis, while Mousaios, sacred slave of Artemis, the custodian of deposits, was present, and participated in receiving it. Concerning the additionally dedicated 1,500 denarii, Salutaris will pay the interest at a rate of 9 per cent every year, the sum of 135 denarii, from which he will give to the secretary of the boule of the Ephesians 55 denarii, that he may carry out a lottery from the boule members on the fifth day of Thargelion to five named individuals. Those who win the lottery will make a sacrifice to Artemis on the sixth of the month, on the birthday of the goddess, buying [ ] 27½ denarii, and the remaining 27 denarii and 9 asses they will spend in the sanctuary of Artemis for the [21 lines missing] 
 
(500b) Equally he will give from the aforementioned interest to the ones who bear the gold and the sacred victors on behalf of the city 6 denarii 13½ asses, that they may complete a lottery . . . . . .  

(519) Equally he will give from the aforementioned interest to the paidonomoi 15 denarii 13½ asses that they may complete a lottery from all the paides [ ]  

[ ]  

(524) on the birthday of the goddess, to 63 named individuals. Those who win the lottery will pray in the temple of Art[emis ] existing according [ ]  

(528) If any of the winning men or paides either do not make sacrifices, or do not pray in the sanctuary, as has been ordered, let them pay for the further adornment of Artemis 5 denarii. 

(532) Equally he will give from the aforementioned interest to the thesmodoi for distribution 7 denarii, that they may receive in the temple of Artemis on the birthday of the goddess 9 asses apiece. 
 
(536) Equally he will give from the aforementioned interest to the acrobatai of the goddess for distribution 15 denarii, that they may receive on the birthday of the goddess 13½ asses apiece. In order that the type-statues may all remain clean, let it be permitted, that as often as may be approved, they be rubbed with argyromatic earth, in the presence of two neopoioi, and a beadle, by whoever happens to be custodian of deposits, but by no other material to be wiped clean. 
 
And the remaining 8 denarii will be given each year to the custodian of the deposits, for the care of the type-statues, and the purchase of argyromatic earth. 
 
(550) Salutaris promised to give 135 denarii, to begin his munificence in the current year on the birthday of the goddess. Let two of the neopoioi, and the sacred victors, and a beadle, and guards carry the aforementioned images, and those things previously dedicated in the bequest before this, and all the type-statues of the goddess, from the pronaos at every assembly into the theatre and the gymnastic contests, and if any other days be determined by the boule and the demos, and carry them back into the sanctuary, and deposit them, the ephebes receiving them from the Magnesian Gate, and after the assemblies escorting the procession up to the Koressian Gate, just as in the pre-existing decrees the boule and the demos determined.

Calandra and Gorrini 2008, 3-4.
  
…the agoranomos shall put on the first base [the image] of the divine Augustus Caesar the father, on the second to his right that of Julia Augusta, on the third that of Augustus Tiberius Caesar, the city furnishing him [to the magistrate] with the images. He shall also set a table in the middle of the theatre and a censer in front of it and [the agoranomos] shall allow that the synedria and all the public magistracies make sacrifices for the salvation of the rulers before the spectacles begin. [The agoranomos] will celebrate the first day in honour of the divine Caesar Augustus Saviour Liberator son of the god [Iulius], the second day in honour of the emperor and father of the country Tiberius Caesar Augustus, the third one in honour of Julia Augusta, Tyche of the people and of our city, the fourth day in honour of the Victory of Germanicus Caesar, the fifth day in honour of Aphrodite of Drusus Caesar, the sixth in honour of Titus Quintius Flamininus, and he shall ensure the good behaviour of the participants. 

In the first assembly after the festival [the agoranomos] shall present to the city the account of the whole payment of the performances and the financial administration of the sacred monies. If it will be found that he has speculated or if he will be accused of having kept the accounts in a fraudulent way, after having been proved guilty it will be enacted that he will be not able to hold in the future any office, and his patrimony will become of public ownership. The goods among those which have been made public, these goods will indeed be considered sacred and from these the archons in charge will provide to prepare further embellishments. It shall be permitted to whoever wants among the inhabitants of Gythium to bring a trial with no penalty about the employment of the sacred funds. 

The agoranomos, after the days of the theatrical performances in honour of the gods and the rulers have finished, shall hold for another two days theatrical spectacles, the first day in memory of C. Iulius Eurykles, who has been on many occasions a benefactor of the people and of our city, the second day in honour of C. Iulius Lakon, who is responsible for the security and the safety of the people and of our city.
  
And he shall celebrate festivities in those days in which it will be possible for him after the day of the goddess. 

And, when he leaves office, he shall submit for public act to the agoranomos in charge all the things necessary for the spectacles and the city shall take a copy from him who receives them. When the agoranomos starts the theatrical festivities, let him set of a procession from the temple of Asclepius and Hygeia, being part of the procession the ephebes and all the young people and the other citizens crowned with laurel and dressed in white clothes. Also the sacred young girls and the women in the sacred dresses will take part in the procession. When the procession has reached the Caesaraeum, the ephors shall sacrifice a bull for the salvation of the rulers and the gods, and for the eternal endurance of their kingdom, and after having sacrificed they shall invite all the members of the phideitia and the public magistracies to sacrifice in the agora. If, instead, they shall not conclude the procession or they shall not sacrifice or, having sacrificed, they shall not force to sacrifice in the agora the members of the phideitia and the public magistracies, they shall pay two thousand drachmas to consecrate to the gods. It will be allowed to accuse them to whoever of the inhabitants of Gythium wants it.  

The ephors presided by Terentius Biadas at the time of Chairon strategus and priest of Caesar Augustus shall provide three painted images of the god Augustus and of Julia Augusta and of Augustus Tiberius Cesar, the provisional structures in the orchestra for the theatre and four stage doors and the stools for the musicians. They shall erect a stone stele after having written on it the sacred law and they shall deposit a copy of the sacred law in the public archives so that in public and under the sky and in a clear way the law will show the perpetual gratitude of the people of Gythion towards the rulers in front of all mankind. But, if they won’t engrave this law, or they won’t erect the stele in front of the temple or they won’t write the copy…

Word used to mean the cult images:
χαλκῆν ε̣[…]ων (l. 302-304)

Description of the cult images:
Procession’s route:
In the streets of Priene
Frequency with which the procession takes place:
The funeral procession, yearly?
Performers:
While he was alive, Krates led the procession as stephanophoros or “city president” of Priene. When he died, he was crowned [with a golden crown in his funeral procession (l. 307, στεφα[νῶσαι] αὐτὸν [ἐπὶ τῆς ἐκφορᾶς στεφάνωι χρυσέω), and in his funeral procession took part the paidonomos with the boys and the gymnasiarch of the youths accompanied by the ephebes and the youths and the generals with the other citizens (l. 311-312, συ]ν̣ακολουθῆσ̣αι δὲ τ[ῆ]ι ἐκφορᾶι [τόν τε] π̣αι[δονόμον μετὰ τῶν παίδων καὶ τὸν γυμνασίαρχον] τῶν νέ[ων ἔχ]οντα̣ τοὺς ἐφήβους καὶ τοὺς νέους κα[ὶ τοὺς στρατηγοὺς μετὰ τῶν ἄλλων πολιτῶν)
References to the public attending the procession:
Any citizen who wishes to crown Krates during his funeral procession was be able to do so (l. 309-310, ἐξεῖναι δὲ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆι ἐκφορᾶι τῶν] λοιπ[ῶν τὸν β]ουλόμενον στεφανοῦν Κράτητα)
Rites related to the procession:
As the leader of the procession Krates offered the sacrifices to the goddess and he prayed earnestly for the city to have the best fortune and he sacrificed favourably on behalf of the safety of the citizens of the city and its territory (l. 180-182, καὶ παραστήσας τῆι θεᾶι τὰς θυσίας καὶ κ[ατευξάμε]νος μὲν [κάλλι]στα τῶι δήμωι καὶ καλλιερήσας ὑπέρ τε τῆς τῶν πο[λιτῶν σωτ]ηρίας καὶ ε̣[ὐξάμενος ὑπέρ τε τῶν πο]λ̣ι̣[τῶν καὶ τ]ῶ̣ν κατοικούντων τήν τε πόλιν καὶ τὴν χώραν)
 
Meals in the prytaneion (city hall, seat of government of the city) and in the Panionion (an Ionian sanctuary dedicated to Poseidon Helikonios and the meeting place of the Ionian League, the sanctuary was under the control of the Ionian city of Priene) (l. 311-312, εἶναι δὲ] [αὐ]τῶ[ι σίτησι]ν μὲν [ἐν πρυτανεί]ωι̣ [καὶ ἐν Πανιωνίωι καὶ μετουσίαν τῶν συντελουμένων ἱερῶν). Sacred rites and sacrifices were performed in the council (l. 313-314, καὶ θυ]σιῶν ἐν [τῆι β]ουλῆι)
Allusions to conduct or forms of reverence:
Other remarkable elements:
Krates had an important role in resolving the disputes in which Priene was involved at the time, but much of the long inscription in his honour has been lost, and the frequent gaps can make it difficult to follow the sense. The official announcement of the death of Krates and of his funeral procession is made by the councillors in the city agora (l. 307-308, ποιήσασθαι δὲ] τὴν ἀναγόρευσιν τοὺ<ς> ἐσομ[έ]νο[υς] τό<τε> γραμμα[τεῖ]ς τῆς [βουλῆς καὶ τοῦ δήμου ἐν τῆι ἀγορᾶι)

Krates’ funeral crown is supplied  by the neopoies of the city, the “temple warden”, an official in various Greek cities such as Priene (l. 309, στέφανον χορηγῆσαι τὸν νεωποίην τῆς πόλεως [τὸ] ἀν[άλωμα)
