When the goddess Nike was hieromnamon for the fourth time, when Poplius Memmius Plautianus, son of Matrodoros, served as her hieropoios, the mystai of Dionysos Kallon for the sake of esteem honored their agonothetes and gymnasiarch Diodoros Quintus and his wife Stallia Prima, who has served as agonothetis and gymnasiarchis in a munificent and noble manner.
