Moschion, while he was alive, as stephanophoros <\/em>or \u201ccity president\u201d of Priene (Grainger 1997, p. 473), i.e. “garland-wearer”, the eponymous magistrate of some Hellenistic cities such as Priene, Miletus or Magnesia; the title could also be given to high-ranking priests. Througout his time as stephanophoros<\/em>
Moschion led a procession in the festival of Panathenaia with a cow worthy of Athena (l. 281-282, \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03b5\u03c0\u0323[\u03cc\u03bc\u03c0\u03b5\u03c5\u03c3\u03b5\u03bd \u03b4\u1f72 \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u1f10\u03bd \u03c4\u1fc6\u03b9 \u03c4\u1ff6\u03bd \u03a0\u03b1\u03bd\u03b1]\u03b8\u03b7\u03bd\u03b1\u03af\u03c9\u03bd \u1f11\u03bf\u03c1\u03c4\u1fc6\u03b9 \u03b2\u03bf\u1fd2 \u03c4\u1fc6\u03c2 \u1f08\u03b8\u03b7\u03bd\u1fb6[\u03c2 \u1f00\u03be\u03af\u03b1\u03b9)

When Moschion died, the funeral procession was followed by  the paidonomoi (officials in Greek cities, responsible for the training of boys who were younger than ephebes) with the boys and the gymnasiarch bringing the ephebes and the youths and the generals with the other citizens (l. 366-370, \u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03b1\u03ba\u03bf\u03bb\u03bf\u03c5\u03b8\u1fc6\u03c3\u03b1\u03b9 \u03b4\u1f72] [\u03c4\u1fc6\u03b9 \u1f10\u03ba\u03c6\u03bf\u03c1\u1fb6\u03b9 \u03c4\u03bf\u03cd]\u03c2 [\u03c4\u03b5 \u03c0]\u03b1\u03b9[\u03b4\u03bf]\u03bd\u03cc\u03bc\u03bf\u03c5\u03c2 [\u03bc\u03b5\u03c4\u1f70 \u03c4\u1ff6\u03bd] \u03c0\u03b1\u03af\u03b4\u03c9\u03bd [\u03ba\u03b1\u1f76] \u03c4\u1f78\u03b3 \u03b3\u03c5\u03bc\u03bd\u03b1\u03c3\u03af\u03b1\u03c1\u03c7\u03bf\u03bd \u1f14\u03c7\u03bf[\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1 \u03c4\u03bf\u03cd\u03c2] \u03c4\u03b5 \u1f10\u03c6\u03ae\u03b2\u03bf\u03c5\u03c2 \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u03c4\u03bf\u1f7a\u03c2 \u03bd\u03ad\u03bf\u03c5\u03c2 \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u03c4\u03bf\u1f7a[\u03c2 \u03c3\u03c4\u03c1\u03b1\u03c4\u03b7\u03b3\u03bf\u1f7a\u03c2] \u03bc\u03b5\u03c4\u1f70 \u03c4\u1ff6\u03bd \u1f04\u03bb\u03bb\u03c9\u03bd \u03c0\u03bf\u03bb\u03b9\u03c4\u1ff6\u03bd)

The procession was so splendid that Moschion received the approbation from the foreigners who were staying in the city during the Panathenaia (l. 85-87, \u1f10\u03c0\u03b9\u03c6\u03b1\u03bd\u1fc6\u03b9 \u03c4\u1f74\u03bd \u03c0\u03c1\u1f78\u03c2 \u03c0[\u03ac\u03bd\u03c4\u03b1\u03c2 \u03b5\u1f54\u03bd\u03bf\u03b9\u03b1\u03bd \u1f00\u03c0\u03bf\u03b4\u03b5\u03b9\u03be\u03ac\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd\u03bf\u03c2,] \u1f65\u03c3\u03c4\u03b5 \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u03c0\u03b1\u03c1\u1f70 \u03c4\u03bf\u1fd6\u03c2 \u1f10\u03c0\u03b9\u03b4\u03b5\u03b4\u0323[\u03b7\u03bc\u03b7\u03ba\u03cc\u03c3\u03b9 \u03c4\u1ff6\u03bd \u03be\u03ad\u03bd\u03c9\u03bd \u1f00\u03c0\u03bf\u03b4\u03bf\u03c7\u1fc6\u03c2 \u03c4\u1fc6\u03c2] \u03bc\u03b5\u03b3\u03af\u03c3\u03c4\u03b7\u03c2 \u03c4\u03b5\u03c4\u03b5\u03c5\u03c7\u03ad\u03bd\u03b1)

Moschion gave a demonstration of his absolute devoutness towards the gods by leading the procession (l. 281-282, \u03c0\u03c1\u03bf\u03b5\u03c0\u0323[\u03cc\u03bc\u03c0\u03b5\u03c5\u03c3\u03b5\u03bd \u03b4\u1f72 \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u1f10\u03bd \u03c4\u1fc6\u03b9 \u03c4\u1ff6\u03bd \u03a0\u03b1\u03bd\u03b1]\u03b8\u03b7\u03bd\u03b1\u03af\u03c9\u03bd \u1f11\u03bf\u03c1\u03c4\u1fc6\u03b9 \u03b2\u03bf\u1fd2 \u03c4\u1fc6\u03c2 \u1f08\u03b8\u03b7\u03bd\u1fb6[\u03c2 \u1f00\u03be\u03af\u03b1\u03b9)

Other remarkable elements<\/strong>:<\/td><\/tr>
By the time of this decree, a benefactor was often distinguished more by his regular handouts from his personal wealth than by his exploits in the service of the state; this long inscription contains one of the most detailed surviving accounts of the career of a local benefactor in Hellenistic times, Moschion’s career lasted well over twenty years, from the reign of Demetrios I of Syria (161-150 B.C.) up until the Roman settlement of Asia Minor in 129 B.C. Cf. Horster and Kl\u00f6ckner (2013, p. 133): \u201c[Moschion] was not being honoured exclusivley in his capacity as a priestly officer, but also as an important benefactor of the city\u201d.
