In the hipparchy of Gaius Caesar, on the ninth day of the month Thargelion. Decreed by the People, the motion introduced by all the archons, the secretary of the Boule Aiolos, son of Aiolos, (of the tribe) Oinops, speaking for them at the mid-session in the (prytany presidency (?)) of Menophon: Since the New Sun Gaius Caesar Augustus Germanicus wished to illuminate with his own rays of light even the bodyguard kings of his rule, in order that the greatness of his immortality even in that regard might be more worthy of respect   and the kings put a great amount of thought into discovering appropriate recompense to show their good feeling for the gracious act of such a great god, but failed to discover one   (and since) the sons of Kotys, Rhoimetalkes and Polemon and Kotys, had been his foster-brothers and had become his companions and had been established by him in the kingdoms rightfully owed to them from their fathers and ancestors; and the sons, reaping the abundance of his immortal favour, in this regard became greater than those before them because, although they held (the royal power) from their fathers, they became kings in the joint rule of such great gods as a consequence of the favour of Gaius Caesar, and the favours of gods differ from human successions (of power) as sunlight from night and as the immortal from mortal nature; having become greater than the great and more wonderful than the brilliant, Rhoimetalkes and Polemon have now come to our city to join in the sacrifices and festivals with their mother who is celebrating the games of the goddess New Aphrodite, Drusilla, not only as to a friendly but also as to a legitimate home-city, because Tryphaina, the daughter of kings and the mother of kings, is their mother who considers this to be her home-city and has made this place the hearth of her home and the luck of her life, content in her children s kingdoms that have not incurred the anger of the gods; (and since) the People, considering most pleasant their lodging here, with all enthusiasm have instructed the archons to introduce a decree of welcome for them, by means of which they will express their gratitude to their mother Tryphaina for having wished to benefit our city and will make clear the People s good disposition toward them, let it be decreed by the People to praise the kings Rhoimetalkes and Polemon and Kotys and their mother Tryphaina.
