The decree of those of Halicarnassus. "When Memnon, the son
of Orestidas by descent, but by adoption of Euonymus, was priest, on the
* * * day of the month Aristerion, the decree of the people, upon the representation
of Marcus Alexander, was this: Since we have ever a great regard to piety
towards God, and to holiness; and since we aim to follow the people of
the Romans, who are the benefactors of all men, and what they have written
to us about a league of friendship and mutual assistance between the Jews
and our city, and that their sacred offices and accustomed festivals and
assemblies may be observed by them; we have decreed, that as many men and
women of the Jews as are willing so to do, may celebrate their Sabbaths,
and perform their holy offices, according to Jewish laws; and may make
their proseuchae at the sea-side, according to the customs of their forefathers;
and if any one, whether he be a magistrate or private person, hindereth
them from so doing, he shall be liable to a fine, to be applied to the
uses of the city."
