Doilos
the son of Iraneos
dedicates his
own servant An
drikos
to
Zeus Basileus
and to Trephonios to be consecrated,
him having remained with
his mother Athanodo

for ten years, just as his
father has commanded. But if
she should
still live, Athanodora, he will pay,
Andrikos, the tribute in the
agreement set down; but if she
should suffer anything, Athanodora, let him
remain,
Andrikos, for the rest of the
time with
Doilos, and thereafter cons

crated let him be, not belonging to any
one in any way. Let it not be
possib
le to reduce to slavery
Andrikos for anyone, and let An
drikos serve as
minister
in the sacrifices for the god
