    The light of virtue shines even for dead men, who, undertaking many labours for their country, established general benefits. The saying fits Asklepiodotos, for whom this city has dedicated this statue as for a founder. Long time wears away even stone; but the fame of Asklepiodotos' virtues is immortal, the number and kind of privileges which he obtained for his country. In addition to all these, let this adjacent structure of the vaulted chamber be counted as well.
