“Decree[In the archonship of Chaerondas, son of Hegemon, on the
twenty-fifth day of Gamelion, the tribe Leontis holding the presidency,
Aristonicus of Phrearrii proposed that, whereas Demosthenes, son of
Demosthenes, of Paeania, has conferred many great obligations on the People
of Athens, and has aided many of
the Allies by his decrees both heretofore and upon the present occasion, and
has liberated some of the cities of Euboea, and is a constant friend of the Athenian People,
and by word and deed does his utmost in the interests of the Athenians
themselves as well as of the other Greeks, it be resolved by the Council and
People of Athens to commend
Demosthenes, son of Demosthenes, of Paeania, and to crown him with a golden
crown, and to proclaim the crown in the Theatre at the Dionysia at the
performance of the new tragedies, the proclamation of the crown being
entrusted to the tribe holding the presidency and to the steward of the
festival. Proposed by Aristonicus of Phrearrii.]”
