“it be resolved by the
People of Byzantium and
Perinthus to grant to the Athenians rights of intermarriage, citizenship,
tenure of land and houses, the seat of honor at the games, access to the
Council and the people immediately after the sacrifices, and immunity from
all public services for those who wish to settle in our city; also to erect
three statues, sixteen cubits in height, in the Bosporeum, representing the
People of Athens being crowned
by the Peoples of Byzantium
and Perinthus; also to send deputations to the Panhellenic gatherings, the
Isthmian, Nemean, Olympian, and Pythian games, and there to proclaim the
crown wherewith the Athenian People has been crowned by us, that the Greeks
may know the merits of the Athenians and the gratitude of the Byzantines and
the Perinthians.]”
