A marble block from Ephesos bears the text of three honorary decrees dating back to 300 B.C. ca. According to the inscriptions, the city council granted citizenship and prize money to young athletes who distinguished themselves in prestigious panhellenic games. The main figure in the second inscription, Athenodoros, ἰσοτελής in Ephesos before being granted citizenship, is mentioned in I.Ephesos 2005. On the occasion of this decree, his talent earned him a subvention from the city; a similar grant might have been assigned to another rising athlete, Timonax, referred to in the third inscription.
