Second Berenice Inscription

Year 55. Phaoph 25. At the gathering of the Festival of Tabernacles during the terms of office of the archons: Cleandros son of Stratonicos, Euphranor son of Ariston, Sosigenes son of Sosippos, Andromachos son of Andromachos, Marcus Laelius Onasion son of Apollonios, Philonides son of Hagemon, Autochles son of Zenon, Sonicos son of Theodotos, Josephos son of Straton.

Since Marcus Tittius son of Sextus [from the tribe of] Aemilia, a goodly and worthy man, who has assumed the responsibility of government in public affairs and who has exercised management of these matters benevolently and rightly, and has always displayed in his conduct a gentle character on all occasions; and not only does he give of himself unstintingly in these matters to those citizens [of the city generally] who entreat him in private, but also to the Jews of our politeuma, publicly and privately, he has been supportive in his governance and has not ceased, in his own noble goodness, behaving in a worthy manner. Now, therefore, the archons and politeuma of the Jews in Berenice have decided to praise him by name and dedicate to him at each assembly and new moon [celebration] a wreath of olive branches and a woolen fillet; and [it has been decided] that the archons are to record this resolution on a stele of Parian marble and set it up in the most prominent place in the amphitheater.

All [the stones cast] were white.
