The City [honors]
L. Memmius, from Thorikos, the altar priest,
The one descended from torch-bearers and archons
And generals and agonothetai,
who, along with the other archonships
And liturgies, served himself as eponymous archon
And general of the arms and manager
Of the gymnasiarchy of the divine
Hadrian, thrice agonothetes
And ambassador many times regarding the
Greatest matters, among which also matters regarding the Gerousia;
Having conducted initiations with the divine Hadrian present,
Having initiated the divine Lucius Verus
Armeniacus Parthicus and Imperator
M. Aurelius Antoninus and M. Aurelius
Commodus Germanicus Sarmaticus, having performed
Religious services for The Two Goddesses for 56 years,
Descended from high priests, the lover of the fatherland.
