Translation

Good fortune. Proedroi of Chersonesites who are near Tauris proposed: since most revered fathers Herakleiotai, out of familial feeling, undertook the care for our salvation, showing every eagerness and genuine affection, sent an embassy to our god and master emperor Titus Aelius Hadrian Antoninus pleading for us, making small account of nothing, and deemed the divine answers and kindly benefactions worthy (of mention) through the most notable men, Herakleides, (son of) Menesthes, and Proklos, (son of Memnon), having sent on their own behalf to make their nobility of character clear, we decided that it would be fitting to repay with fitting response; for which reason the Council and the Peopl shall deem it good to praise, on account of these, our ancestral [metropo]lis and - - -]; [to inscribe this decision on a] st[ele of white stone and set it up in the most prominent place of the acropo]lis. [This was decided by the Council and the People, in the reign of] Par[thenos... in the year... when the priest... in the mo]nth [of---], Eu[kleios? was..., the secretary was Titus Fl(avius) Age]polis, [son of Fl(avius) Ariston.]
