[- - - therefore] the Council [and the People shall decide]: to praise, [because of] these, P. [Ser]vilius [---], citizen of Amastris, [to grant him citizenship on the grounds of proxeny], the right of sailing in and out of the harbour, [in peace time and in war time, without a threat of confiscation] and without a formal treaty, [for him, his descendants and his goods, as well as] a share [in all rights - - -].
