Dear Dr. Hill,

I hope you will not object to my mentioning the existence of your mosaic inscriptions to Werner Peek: I drew his attention to the Museum Bulletin, and the enclosed letter is the result ! I still remember with pleasure my visit to you at CURIUM last year and, if I am again in Cyprus this summer, trust that we shall meet once more: I will then show you what I have been doing with your Curium inscrr. This reminds me that I owe you the text of the missing Honorific Decree. I tried to sent [handwritten: t] you this last fall, but was unable to get your address in the States:

5 [Ἀγαθ]ῃ Τύχῃ· [ἔδοξεν τῶι κ]ολληγίωι τῶν ἀπὸ γυμνασίο[υ [handwritten: e.g.] ἐφήβων πρώ]του ἐπαινέσαι τε τὸν πρό[εδρον αὐτῶ]ν Ἐλλόφιλον καὶ στεφανῶσαι[ι] αὐτὸν καὶ τ]οὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ Ἀσκληπιάδην| [.........] Ὀνησικλῆν τῶι τῆς ἀρετῆς [ἀξίωι στεφ]άνωι· αὐτοῦ δὲ Ἐλλοφίλου [ἀναστῆσαι] ἀνδρίαντα 10 χαλκοῦν ἐν τῶι [ἐπισημοτά]τωι τοῦ γυμνασίου τοπωι· ὁμοίως δὲ ἀ]ναθεῖναι καὶ εἰκόνα γραπτὴν ἐν

With kindest regards, Sincerely yours,

[ἀσπιδίωι ἐ]πιχρύσωι· καὶ τὰ δεδογμένα [ταῦτα ἀναγρ]άψαντας εἰς στήλην ἀναθεῖναι [πρὸς τῶι ἀνδ]ριαντι ὅπως ἡ τ' ἀνδρὸς ἀρετὴ [φανερὰ ἅπασ]ιν καθεστήκηι.
