Summary[edit]

| Description |
Bronze, end of the 2nd - beginning of the 1st Century BC. Rome, Farnese Collection. This degree begins with a title: "For (his) proxenia and euergesia (granted) to Demeter, son of Diodotos of Syracuse and his descendants." This is followed by the mention of the eponymous hierothytes and the two archons, and then by the usual formulation: "It pleased the council and the assembly of the Maltese. Since Demetrios, son of Diodotos of Syracuse, was always benevolent towards our public matters and was often engaged in doing good to each and every citizen, it seems fit that Demetrios, son of Diodotos of Syracuse, be a proxenos and benefactor of the Maltese people, and his descendants as well, for the graciousness and benevolence he always showed to our people. And let this proxenia be inscribed on two bronze tablets, and let one of thesee be given to Demetrios, son of Diodotos of Syracuse". |
