Xenon
being archon), he releases, Kallippos,
Philonidas as free in the presence
of
Asklapios. Let him remain,
Philonidas, with Kallipp

so long as he lives, Kallippos. Whoever
should wr
ong Philonidas contrary to what
Kallipp
os has on the stele written, to
Askl
apios and the other gods
he will pay the penalty,
and let him not belong,
Philonidas, of Kal
l
ippos' descendants, to anyone,
and let Philonidas,
just as he has sworn to Asklapios,
abide by the oaths. Philonid
a
s, when he leaves, as a free man
let him leave, taking the
tools,
those of his work. He will give
also to Persis
one hundred drachma
s.
